Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
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.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
How we handle washroom sealing in Greenigoe
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. If you have split or peeling sealant at shower trays and urinal joints that look unhygienic, we can put it right, on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Greenigoe? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Greenigoe tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Wet areas in Greenigoe’s workplaces
Greenigoe is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. The east of Scotland, where Greenigoe is, gets less rain than the west. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
For a site such as Balfour Hospital, 2.4 miles to the north-east of Greenigoe, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.

FAQs: Greenigoe
Is Greenigoe inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Greenigoe is within the area we cover. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Greenigoe for resealing?
Normally 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.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.

Related advice
What we are called out for in Greenigoe
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
In any commercial washroom in or near Greenigoe, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked so the bead needs to cope with it. Loose panels are flagged before any sealant goes on.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
