Washroom sealing in Hoswick, done properly
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. If you have split or peeling sealant at shower trays and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hoswick, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Hoswick, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Sanitary sealant for Hoswick buildings
Hoswick lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. For an island location such as Hoswick, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. A room count and photographs of each washroom help us bring enough sealant and plan the days.
Around Hoswick, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces. For buildings around Hoswick, washrooms can be done in phases so some facilities are always open.
Hoswick is about 11 miles south of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Anywhere in ZE2, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Hoswick is one of 63 places we cover in the Shetland Islands.
We cover the ZE2 postcode districts for washrooms and wet areas. For a building on Greenfield Road and Brakefield Road or nearby, send details and we will quote for washrooms and wet areas.

Questions we’re asked in Hoswick
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Hoswick for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Which documents can you supply for work in Hoswick?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you cover Hoswick?
Yes. We cover Hoswick. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.

What else we do in Hoswick
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins and vanity tops
Stone and some composite tops need a neutral-cure sealant, so the product is chosen to suit.
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Hoswick, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
