Washroom sealing in Edgehead
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you have resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and panel joints letting water behind, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Edgehead tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
FAQs: Edgehead
Is a hospital such as Midlothian Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Edgehead off your patch?
No. Places such as Edgehead are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
Does the weather affect the 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 you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Usually not. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
What we’re called out for in Edgehead
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Student showers at universities like Queen Margaret University (to the north-west of Edgehead) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
What to look for in a quote
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Proof of insurance
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Edgehead. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath, and we will say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Records you need can be confirmed with the quote.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Edgehead
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Sanitary sealant for Edgehead buildings
Edgehead is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
For a hotel such as Stair Arms Hotel (0.9 miles east of Edgehead), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. If you manage an office at a site such as McSence Business Park, which lies west of Edgehead, the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time.
