Washroom sealing in Forres, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you are dealing with sealant lifting along a tray edge and sealant stained black around basins and showers, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Forres, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Changing rooms and showers in Scottish town leisure buildings see heavy, wet use. Joints at trays, wet floors and wall panels need sanitary silicone laid on clean, dry surfaces.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Ventilation is half the battle. 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 complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms

- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Industrial estates and retail parks around towns like Forres normally have yard space and site rules. Town-centre premises may need parking planned.
- 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.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Questions we are asked in Forres
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Leanchoil Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Must a hotel around Forres close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant, and we survey them together.
IPS and cubicle panels
Panel systems meet walls, floors and vanity tops at sealed joints. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.

Why it’s worth doing now in Forres
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed for now. If one joint has failed on a building in Forres, its neighbours, laid at the same time, may not be far off. One programme for all of them saves time.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Keeping Forres washrooms open while we work
Forres lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The east of Scotland, where Forres is, gets less rain than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Colleges such as Findhorn Foundation - Cluny Hill College, 0.8 miles east of Forres, have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates. Units at estates like Waterford Industrial Estate (0.5 miles north of Forres) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. For a hotel such as Victoria Hotel, which lies north-west of Forres, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
