Washroom sealing in Garmond
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. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Garmond, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Aberdeenshire. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life over time.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Around smaller places like Garmond, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
Keeping Garmond washrooms open while we work
The east of Scotland, where Garmond 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.
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Monquhitter Parish Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Turriff Cottage Hospital (4.8 miles west of Garmond) need cleanable, sound silicone.
Garmond is about 14 miles south-west of Fraserburgh, in Aberdeenshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Garmond, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Aberdeenshire coverage takes in 179 places, large and small. Aberdeen is covered too, some 29 miles away.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout AB53, whatever the building. Close to Garmond, our area also takes in Cuminestown (1 mile south), New Byth (1 mile north-east), Turriff (5 miles west), New Pitsligo (5 miles north-east) and Turfhill (5 miles south-east). Further afield, our area takes in Fraserburgh (14 miles north-east), Banff (11 miles north-west), Macduff (10 miles north-west), Oldmeldrum (15 miles south), Mintlaw (12 miles east) and Broadsea (15 miles north-east). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully.

Your questions answered
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Garmond for resealing?
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.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Turriff Cottage Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so facilities are never short.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
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.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

Commercial clients in Garmond
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Garmond. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- 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.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
