We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are panel joints letting water behind and users noticing mouldy joints. Whoever orders the work in Findochty, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Findochty tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.

Do you need washroom sealing in Findochty?
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
Toilets at colleges like Moray College UHI - Buckie Learning Centre, 2.1 miles to the south-west of Findochty, take heavy use from students and staff alike.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Findochty
Findochty is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The east of Scotland, where Findochty is, gets less rain than the west. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
Halls linked to places like Church Of Scotland host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. On a healthcare site such as Seafield Hospital, 3.5 miles south-west of Findochty, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
Findochty is about 3 miles north-east of Buckie, in Moray. We send applicators to Findochty for washrooms and wet areas. Findochty is one of 59 places in Moray on our list. Sites around Aberdeen have their own page, about 48 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in AB56 are within our area for washrooms and wet areas. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Main Street, Station Road and Blantyre Terrace and the roads nearby. Findochty sits on or close to the A942 and B9020, useful when we plan access and materials. We also cover Buckpool (1 mile north), Portknockie (2 miles east), Portessie (2 miles south-west), Rathven (2 miles south-west) and Ianstown (2 miles south-west). A short drive away, we cover Lossiemouth (14 miles west), Keith (11 miles south), Ashgrove (15 miles west), Cullen (3 miles east), Fochabers (9 miles south-west) and Lhanbryde (12 miles west). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead.

What else we do in Findochty
How the job changes by surface
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Healthcare and care settings
Assisted bathrooms and accessible toilets get heavy use so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Findochty, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Questions we are asked in Findochty
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Seafield Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as Moray College UHI - Buckie Learning Centre fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
