Washroom sealing in Edzell Woods
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and shower tray joints that have opened up. Most enquiries from Edzell Woods 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.
Around smaller places such as Edzell Woods, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Work we carry out in Aberdeenshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Commercial clients in Edzell Woods
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
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 Edzell Woods can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Aberdeenshire.
Common questions from Edzell Woods clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Stracathro Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will the toilets in our Edzell Woods building be out of use?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Edzell Woods
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- A new bead over an old one coming away
Hotels such as Panmure Arms Hotel, 1.4 miles to the west of Edzell Woods, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Edzell Woods is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

What affects the price in Edzell Woods
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
