Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are users noticing mouldy joints and mould spotting along silicone joints.

In smaller Scottish places like Hairmyres, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant typically can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Hairmyres
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building near Hairmyres, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
FAQs: Hairmyres
Must a hotel around Hairmyres close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Jackton Police Training College for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
Is Hairmyres in your area?
Yes. Sites across Hairmyres are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
How the job changes by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints and we look at them as one job.
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
Wet areas in Hairmyres’s workplaces
Hairmyres has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. The west of Scotland, where Hairmyres is, gets more rain than the east. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.
On a healthcare site such as Hairmyres Hospital, under half a mile to the north-east of Hairmyres, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. Toilets at places like St James Retail Centre, under half a mile north of Hairmyres, are cleaned constantly, which is hard on silicone. Pupil toilets at schools like Duncanrig Secondary School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
