Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Ingliston
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, 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. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and kitchens and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and a new bead over an old one coming away. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ingliston from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Ingliston tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Ingliston
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Look out for the following:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
En suites at hotels like DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Edinburgh Airport (less than half a mile north-east of Ingliston) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Why it’s worth doing now in Ingliston
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ingliston. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
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.

Questions we’re asked in Ingliston
Will our hotel in Ingliston need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Linburn Centre?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
