How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.
Washroom sealing in Exnaboe
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we’re called in for most is failed sealant behind washroom basins and mould spotting along silicone joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Exnaboe it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Exnaboe tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What else we do in Exnaboe
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Exnaboe
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Exnaboe, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Work on Exnaboe has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Knowing how many washrooms there are lets us plan the days on the island.
Around Exnaboe, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces. Phased work lets washrooms in and around Exnaboe stay partly open while sealant is renewed.

Questions we are asked in Exnaboe
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Exnaboe for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Do you work on the island where Exnaboe is?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Exnaboe. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
