Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Kames
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we’re called in for most is urinal joints that look unhygienic and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Kames, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For washroom work around Kames, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
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.

Your questions answered
Which documents can you supply for work in Kames?

Is Kames too far out for you?

Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

What happens if it’s left?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed while bigger works are planned. For buildings near Kames, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Busy facilities in and around Kames

Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. The west of Scotland, where Kames is, gets more rain than the east. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
Around Kames, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
