Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Dornoch
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. We work on vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points, and what we are called in for most is discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and mould spotting along silicone joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Dornoch is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Dornoch is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photographs and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Dornoch: questions and answers
Will all the washrooms in our Dornoch building be closed at once?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Must a hotel around Dornoch close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone after the old bead and residue are removed.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Wet areas in Dornoch’s workplaces
Dornoch is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The west of Scotland, where Dornoch is, gets more rain than the east. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.
Hotels such as Dornoch Castle Hotel (under half a mile south of Dornoch) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Dornoch is about 21 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. We cover Dornoch, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Dornoch is one of 256 places we cover in Highland for washrooms and wet areas.
Business premises anywhere in IV25 are within our area for washrooms and wet areas. Buildings on High Street, Gilchrist Square and Station Square are within our area for washrooms and wet areas. Dornoch sits on or close to the A949 and B9168, useful when we plan access and materials. Nearby places we also cover include Hilton (1 mile north), Camore (1 mile west), Embo (2 miles north-east), Skelbo Muir (3 miles north) and Littleferry (4 miles north) for washrooms and wet areas. Further afield, our area takes in Alness (15 miles south-west), Invergordon (14 miles south), Golspie (7 miles north), Brora (11 miles north-east), Cromarty (14 miles south) and Balintore (10 miles south-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.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Dornoch before they leak.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What we are called out for in Dornoch
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Panel joints letting water behind
At a school such as Dornoch Academy, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Proof of insurance
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around Dornoch with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Make sure the joints can be reached
