Commercial clients in Hillside

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Hillside
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. Most enquiries involve split or peeling sealant at shower trays and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, across showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hillside, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller Scottish places like Hillside, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Wet areas in Hillside’s workplaces
Hillside lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Hillside is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
At a hospital like Stracathro Hospital, 5.7 miles north-west of Hillside, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

Hillside: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Stracathro Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will all the washrooms in our Hillside 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.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it so there are always facilities open. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Share your site rules when you send details
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Surface by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms in gyms and leisure centres stay wet and warm, so mould is a constant battle. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone after the old bead and residue are removed.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
When to call us in Hillside
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
On an industrial estate such as Forties Road Industrial Estate (0.9 miles south-east of Hillside), staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear.
