What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as University of Strathclyde fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as New Victoria Hospital?
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.
Do you work in Hillpark?
Yes. We cover Hillpark. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.

What we’re called out for in Hillpark
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Typical triggers for a call:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
Healthcare estates like New Victoria Hospital, 1.6 miles north-east of Hillpark, expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. City jobs in Hillpark normally need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Related advice
Washroom sealing around Hillpark: what changes locally
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Hillpark. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. The west of Scotland, where Hillpark is, gets more rain than the east. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
At a university such as University of Strathclyde (3.9 miles north-east of Hillpark), summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. Toilets at places like Auldhouse Retail Park (less than half a mile north of Hillpark) are cleaned constantly, which is hard on silicone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hillpark
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. In Hillpark, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
