FAQs: Inverinan
What site paperwork comes with a job in Inverinan?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Must every washroom in our Inverinan building shut while you work?
Normally only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
About our washroom sealing in Inverinan
From one staff toilet in Inverinan to washrooms across a whole estate, the route is the same: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote and a site visit is an option. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant behind washroom basins and shower tray joints that have opened up, across showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and vanity units and basins. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Inverinan, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Inverinan is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
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.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Commercial clients in Inverinan
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Doing it in-house
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What affects the price in Inverinan
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
What we are called out for in Inverinan
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Phased work lets washrooms in and around Inverinan stay partly open while sealant is renewed.

Sanitary sealant for Inverinan buildings
The west of Scotland, where Inverinan is, gets more rain than the east. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.
Washrooms near Inverinan get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.

From enquiry to sign-off
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. For work around Inverinan, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits
