About our washroom sealing in Holyrood
In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we are called in for most is users noticing mouldy joints and shower tray joints that have opened up. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Holyrood first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
City hotels, restaurants and bars in Scotland need washrooms that look cared for and kitchens that clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. City jobs in Holyrood usually 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.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Signs you need washroom sealing in Holyrood
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Astley Ainslie Hospital (1.7 miles south-west of Holyrood) need cleanable, sound silicone.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Surface by surface
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first, and we’ll say so before resealing.
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Commercial washrooms in Holyrood
Holyrood 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. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. There are seven care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Holyrood. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
For a store at a site such as Meadowbank Shopping Park, 0.8 miles north-east of Holyrood, the staff room and customer toilets can be resealed in quiet periods. Toilets at colleges like Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh (0.8 miles west of Holyrood) take heavy use from students and staff alike.
Holyrood is about 1 mile north-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Our applicators travel to Holyrood for work on washrooms and wet areas. Holyrood is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list.

FAQs: Holyrood
Will our hotel in Holyrood need to close for the work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can work in a care setting near Holyrood go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Holyrood
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
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.
