About our washroom sealing in Dury
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. If you have split or peeling sealant at shower trays and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Dury first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Dury, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant normally can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

On site: what to expect
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. For a building near Dury, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Common questions from Dury clients
Which documents can you supply for work in Dury?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Will all the washrooms in our Dury building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Sanitary sealant for Dury buildings
Dury sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Dury is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Washrooms near Dury get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints. Around Dury, we keep some washrooms open while others are resealed.
Dury is in the Shetland Islands. If you’re looking for washroom sealing in Dury, we can help. Dury is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands on our list for washrooms and wet areas.
Anyone looking for washroom sealing in ZE2 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Dury sits on or close to the B9075. Nearby places we also cover include Vidlin (4 miles north), Vassa (4 miles south), Voe (4 miles north-west), Clate (5 miles east) and Sandwick (5 miles east). Nearby towns on our patch include Lerwick (12 miles south), Sound (12 miles south), Scalloway (13 miles south) and Brae (8 miles north-west). For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

A little further out are The Cabin Museum (2.4 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Quinni Loch and Hill of Neap.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Dury before they leak.
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.
Why clients in Dury choose us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Constructionline member
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Dury
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
