Questions we are asked in Fort Matilda
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as West College Scotland - Greenock Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Fort Matilda off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Washroom sealing in Fort Matilda
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. If you have users noticing mouldy joints and a new bead over an old one coming away, we can help, on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Fort Matilda tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
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 are upfront about that.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Fort Matilda, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Changing rooms and accessible showers often have wet floors so the edges are checked carefully.
Sanitary sealant for Fort Matilda buildings
Fort Matilda is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Being in the west of Scotland, Fort Matilda gets more rain than eastern areas. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
