About our washroom sealing in Fochabers
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. The enquiries we see most involve sealant lifting along a tray edge and mould spotting along silicone joints, on vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points. Most enquiries from Fochabers start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Fochabers, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Fochabers. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- 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.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Surface by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
Washroom sealing around Fochabers: points for this area
Fochabers is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
For a hotel such as Grant Arms Hotel, which lies north-east of Fochabers, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. Halls linked to places like St. Mary's Fochabers host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. For a site such as Seafield Hospital (5.8 miles north-east of Fochabers), sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
Fochabers is about 6 miles south-west of Buckie, in Moray. Our applicators travel to Fochabers for work on washrooms and wet areas. We work across 59 places in Moray, large and small. We also cover Aberdeen, some 48 miles away.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Seafield Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Fochabers for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Do you work in Fochabers?
Yes. Fochabers is in our area and the rest of Moray. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
