Your questions answered
Will the toilets in our Dores building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Craig Dunain Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Washroom sealing in Dores
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Dores from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Dores tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to call us in Dores
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Dores Parish Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Comparing quotes
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
What else we do in Dores
Washroom sealing in Dores: the local picture
Being in the west of Scotland, Dores gets more rain than eastern areas. Damp air means a poorly ventilated washroom rarely dries out fully, which is when mould gets into the sealant.
At a hospital like Craig Dunain Hospital (5.8 miles north of Dores), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
Dores is about 7 miles south-west of Inverness, in Highland. If you’re looking for washroom sealing in Dores, we can help. Dores is one of 256 places in Highland on our list.
Anyone looking for washroom sealing in IV2 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. For a building on Mill Croft and Torr Gardens or nearby, send details and we will quote for washrooms and wet areas. If your building is just outside Dores, we cover Torness (5 miles south), Farr (6 miles east), Slackbuie (6 miles north-east), Lochardil (6 miles north-east) and Leachkin (6 miles north). Further afield, our area takes in Inverness (7 miles north-east), Cradlehall (10 miles north-east), Merkinch (8 miles north-east), Dingwall (15 miles north), Hilton (7 miles north-east) and Crown (8 miles north-east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Around Dores
Nearby you will also find Abriachan Museum (2.7 miles west) and Craig Dunain Hospital (5.8 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Loch Ashie.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
