For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Dunoon can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Washroom sealing in Dunoon
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. If you’re dealing with stained sealant around pans and urinals and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Dunoon, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building near Dunoon, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Why act early in Dunoon
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Dunoon before they leak.

Questions about Dunoon
Is a hospital such as Cowal Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Dunoon off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
