About our washroom sealing in Dunollie
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. The enquiries we see most involve resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and failed sealant behind washroom basins, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dunollie tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Dunollie, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant typically can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Kitchens and tea points
Staff kitchens and tea points have joints at worktops, sinks and splashbacks. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.
Washroom sealing in Dunollie: the local picture
Dunollie lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Being in the west of Scotland, Dunollie gets more rain than eastern areas. 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.
At a school such as Oban High School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. Clinical washrooms at sites like Lorn and Islands Hospital (1.4 miles south of Dunollie) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. For a hotel such as Oban Bay Hotel, under half a mile to the south-west of Dunollie, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Dunollie is about 1 mile north of Oban, in Argyll and Bute. Looking for washroom sealing in Dunollie? We can help. Our Argyll and Bute coverage takes in 124 places, large and small. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area (61 miles or so).

We also cover Oban (1 mile south), Ganavan (1 mile north), Dunbeg (2 miles north-east), Kilmore (4 miles south-east) and Connel (4 miles north-east) for washrooms and wet areas. As one of the bigger centres in Argyll and Bute, Dunollie has a broad mix of commercial, public and industrial buildings. Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.

Questions we are asked in Dunollie
Is Dunollie too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Dunollie is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do hotels near Dunollie have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Dunollie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Related advice
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Why act early in Dunollie
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. 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.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
