Questions we are asked in Drakemyre
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Woodland View, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Drakemyre outside your area?
No. Places such as Drakemyre are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Washroom sealing in Drakemyre
In a commercial washroom, sealant is typically the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. Most enquiries involve gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and panel joints letting water behind, on urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Drakemyre tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Drakemyre is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photographs and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Drakemyre
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells which costs more to fix than a reseal. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What sealant work can’t fix
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
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building near Drakemyre, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Commercial washrooms in Drakemyre
Drakemyre is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
Clinical washrooms at sites like Woodland View (5.9 miles south of Drakemyre) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Trinity Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
