Washroom sealing in Ferniegair

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Washroom sealing in Ferniegair, done properly

Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. If you have mould spotting along silicone joints and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, we can put it right, on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins alike. Whoever orders the work in Ferniegair, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Around smaller places such as Ferniegair, 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.

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.

Should maintenance staff do it?

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

From enquiry to sign-off

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Where we can, we combine work around Ferniegair with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.

  1. We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
  2. A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
  3. We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
  4. We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
  5. We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
  6. Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.

What we need from you

  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand

Your questions answered

Is Ferniegair 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. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Can work at a site such as New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus fit around teaching?

Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?

The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?

Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.

Can you quote from photos?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

Is any job too small?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

Wet areas in Ferniegair’s workplaces

The area within 2 miles of Ferniegair holds a number of hotels. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. Ferniegair is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. 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.

Toilets at colleges like New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus (2 miles north-east of Ferniegair) take heavy use from students and staff alike. Healthcare estates like University Hospital Wishaw (2.7 miles east of Ferniegair) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. For centre management at a site such as Regent Shopping Centre (1.1 miles north-west of Ferniegair), washroom work is planned around footfall.

Looking after the joints

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Note failing joints building by building
  • Inspect washroom sealant regularly
  • Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
  • Leave signs up until the cure time is over

Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.

A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.

Different surfaces, different methods

Urinals and WC pans

We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade after the old bead and residue are removed.

IPS and cubicle panels

Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing, and any we come across will be pointed out.

When it isn’t the sealant

Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:

  • Water from plumbing, not from a joint
  • Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
  • Panel boards already damaged by water

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Urinals and WCs
  • Kitchens and tea points
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • Vanity units and basins
