Your questions answered
Do hotels near Innerleithen have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Hay Lodge Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Innerleithen, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Innerleithen is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Washroom sealing in Innerleithen: the local picture
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Innerleithen. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest. Being in the east of Scotland, Innerleithen gets less rain than the west coast. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Innerleithen Parish Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. Hotels such as Traquair Arms Hotel (to the south-west of Innerleithen) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.

What we are called out for in Innerleithen
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 say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Clinical washrooms at sites like Hay Lodge Hospital (5.8 miles west of Innerleithen) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
Questions to ask before you book
