Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Where we can, we combine work around Gretna with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
About our washroom sealing in Gretna
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. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we are called in for most is failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and stained sealant around pans and urinals. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Gretna is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

- IPS panels and cubicles

Common questions from Gretna clients
Is Gretna too far out for you?
No. Places such as Gretna are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will all the washrooms in our Gretna building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
What about RAMS and site documents?
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.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Gretna can form part of a wider programme across Dumfries and Galloway.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Surface by surface
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant, and we will say so before resealing.
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms in gyms and leisure centres stay wet and warm so sealant there works very hard. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
When to call us in Gretna
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
For a hall at a building such as St Andrew's Church of Scotland, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their public liability cover
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

Keeping Gretna washrooms open while we work
Gretna lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Gretna. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Hotels such as Hunters Lodge Hotel (to the north-east of Gretna) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
