FAQs: Elrig
Is Elrig off your patch?
No. Places such as Elrig are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Elrig for resealing?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
About our washroom sealing in Elrig
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. Site teams most often ask us about failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, across IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Whoever orders the work in Elrig, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Elrig, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Work we carry out in Dumfries and Galloway comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Washroom sealing around Elrig: points for this area
Elrig sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Being in the west of Scotland, Elrig gets more rain than eastern areas. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
Phased work lets washrooms in and around Elrig stay partly open while sealant is renewed. Washrooms near Elrig get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs

Leave it or put it right?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Elrig before they leak.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
