About our washroom sealing in Downfield
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. If you are dealing with black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Downfield first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Ground-floor premises below tenements in Scotland’s cities often have small staff toilets and kitchens. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first, so it’s worth resealing before it spreads.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

FAQs: Downfield
Can work at a site such as Abertay University fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Kings Cross Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote before we start.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Commercial washrooms in Downfield
Downfield sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Downfield has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Schools such as Lawside Academy have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. Healthcare estates like Kings Cross Hospital (to the south of Downfield) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Panel boards already damaged by water
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Stained or split joints here trap smells and make the room look neglected.
When to call us in Downfield
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
Toilets at colleges like Dundee and Angus College - Kingsway Campus, 0.7 miles east of Downfield, take heavy use from students and staff alike.

Why it’s worth doing now in Downfield
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
