Washroom sealing in Farr, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. Site teams most often ask us about stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and shower tray joints that have opened up, across showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Most enquiries from Farr start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For washroom work around Farr, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Send photos and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

FAQs: Farr
Would you work within a site like Raigmore Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Farr outside your area?
Not at all. Farr is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Farr
Farr is on Scotland’s wetter western side. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.
In any commercial washroom in or near Farr, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
Farr is about 6 miles south of Inverness, in Highland. Our applicators travel to Farr for work on washrooms and wet areas. Farr is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for washrooms and wet areas. Sites around Dundee have their own page, roughly 78 miles from Farr.

Why it’s worth doing now in Farr
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Farr. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.

Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- Access and working height
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For work around Farr, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Related advice
Signs you need washroom sealing in Farr
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
Clinical washrooms at sites like Raigmore Hospital, 6 miles north of Farr, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
