Washroom sealing for Drumchapel sites

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When something else is needed

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
  • Vanity carcasses that have swollen
  • Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first

Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Kitchens and tea points
  • Vanity units and basins
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Urinals and WCs

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Drumchapel

Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we’re called in for most is users noticing mouldy joints and shower tray joints that have opened up. Most enquiries from Drumchapel start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

City hotels, restaurants and bars in Scotland need washrooms that look cared for and kitchens that clean easily. We use anti-mould silicone in washrooms and food-safe hygienic sealant at kitchen worktops.

Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas

Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:

  • The product specified
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Before you send an enquiry

To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • Clear photographs of the problem areas

To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.

FAQs: Drumchapel

Is a hospital such as Gartnavel Royal Hospital somewhere you can work?

Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Glasgow Garscube Campus?

Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Can one quote cover more than one building?

Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

Do you work in Drumchapel?

Yes. We cover Drumchapel, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.

Who decides which product is used?

If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

How long before the toilets can reopen?

Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.

Doing it in-house

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

Paperwork matters too. 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.

Our process

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Drumchapel, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.

  1. We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
  2. The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
  3. Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
  4. Joints are degreased and dried.
  5. A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
  6. Rooms reopen after the cure time.

Before we start on site

  • Agree which areas must stay open
  • Arrange parking or a loading space
  • Let building users know which areas are affected

Getting a fixed quote

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Kitchens and tea points

Kitchen work can be phased around service. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.

Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints

Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms, so their perimeter joints get close attention.

Washroom sealing in Drumchapel: the local picture

The west of Scotland, where Drumchapel is, gets more rain than the east. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner. There are nine care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Drumchapel. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.

Colleges such as West College Scotland - Clydebank Campus (to the west of Drumchapel) have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates. Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as St David's Parish Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Toilets at places like Great Western Retail Park, 0.6 miles west of Drumchapel, are cleaned constantly, which is hard on silicone.

Maintenance after handover

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:

  • Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
  • Note failing joints building by building
  • Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
  • Keep extract fans working and vents clear

Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.

In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
