What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Kelhead
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. We work on vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we’re called in for most is kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and sealant lifting along a tray edge. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Kelhead, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Kelhead, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Kelhead as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Wet areas in Kelhead’s workplaces
Kelhead lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. The east of Scotland, where Kelhead is, gets less rain than the west. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
In any commercial washroom in or near Kelhead, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints. For a site such as Annan Hospital (4 miles south-east of Kelhead), sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
Kelhead is about 11 miles east of Dumfries, in Dumfries and Galloway. We cover commercial sites throughout Kelhead, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across Dumfries and Galloway, 139 places are covered, Kelhead among them. For work in that direction, see our Edinburgh page.
We cover the DG12 postcode districts. Nearby places we also cover include Cummertrees (2 miles south), Powfoot (2 miles south), Brydekirk (3 miles east), Howes (3 miles south-east) and Newbie (3 miles south-east) for washrooms and wet areas. Bigger towns within reach include Dumfries (11 miles west), Annan (4 miles south-east), Lockerbie (8 miles north), Heathhall (11 miles north-west), Newbridge Drive (13 miles north-west) and Gretna (11 miles east).

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Annan Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will the toilets in our Kelhead building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote before we start.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building near Kelhead, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
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.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Surface by surface
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
Healthcare and care settings
Assisted bathrooms and accessible toilets get heavy use so their sealant tends to fail sooner.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kelhead
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed while bigger works are planned. Around smaller places like Kelhead, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
