Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Ettrickbridge with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Panel boards already damaged by water
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
Common questions from Ettrickbridge clients
Is Ettrickbridge too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Ettrickbridge?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
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.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
