Washroom sealing for businesses in Ferryhill
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you

Advice
About our washroom sealing in Ferryhill
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and what we’re called in for most is sealant lifting along a tray edge and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ferryhill? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Ground-floor premises below tenements in Scotland’s cities often have small staff toilets and kitchens. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Ferryhill
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
At a university such as Robert Gordon University, which lies north of Ferryhill, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Note failing joints building by building
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Keeping Ferryhill washrooms open while we work
Ferryhill lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Ferryhill has five care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
Customer toilets in retail centres such as Union Square Aberdeen, 0.6 miles north-east of Ferryhill, rarely close, so resealing is phased. Toilets at places like Balnagask Retail Park, 0.7 miles south-east of Ferryhill, are cleaned constantly, which is hard on silicone.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint

Also in Ferryhill
Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and look unhygienic.
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
FAQs: Ferryhill
Must a hotel around Ferryhill close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Albyn Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
