FAQs: Hillend
Will all the washrooms in our Hillend building be closed at once?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Forfar Infirmary?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How we handle washroom sealing in Hillend
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. If you are dealing with washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and failed sealant behind washroom basins, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Hillend, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller Scottish places like Hillend, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
Signs you need washroom sealing in Hillend
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
Office toilets at parks like Restenneth Business Park, 2.1 miles north-west of Hillend, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
