What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
How the job changes by surface
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Stained or split joints here trap smells and look unhygienic.
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first and we flag that beforehand.
Questions about Garvald
Will all the washrooms in our Garvald building be closed at once?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Roodlands General Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. 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.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Garvald
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.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Garvald
The east of Scotland, where Garvald is, gets less rain than the west. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
Around Garvald, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces. On a healthcare site such as Roodlands General Hospital, 5.7 miles to the west of Garvald, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Garvald is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits
