What we’re called out for in Fowlis
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate, 2.3 miles south-east of Fowlis, have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.
Before you book anyone
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Proof of insurance
- How the existing material will be dealt with
How we handle washroom sealing in Fowlis
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Most enquiries involve discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and users noticing mouldy joints, across urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Fowlis? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Travel to smaller places like Fowlis is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Fowlis: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Fowlis outside your area?
No. Places such as Fowlis are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will the toilets in our Fowlis building be out of use?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Usually not. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
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. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Commercial washrooms in Fowlis
With the shore within about 3 miles, Fowlis counts as a coastal location, 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, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Fowlis is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
For a hall at a building such as Fowlis Easter Church And Churchyard, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. On a healthcare site such as Royal Dundee Liff Hospital, which lies east of Fowlis, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead

What the job involves on each surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below, and we’ll say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building near Fowlis, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
