Your questions answered
Is Kelso too far out for you?
No. Places such as Kelso are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kelso Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Washroom sealing in Kelso, done properly
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. The enquiries we see most involve shower tray joints that have opened up and panel joints letting water behind, on urinals and WCs, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Kelso is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like Kelso, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to call us in Kelso
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Panel joints letting water behind
Schools such as Kelso High School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.

Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below, and we will say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Kelso can sit alongside others in a wider programme across the Scottish Borders.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a building near Kelso, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Why act early in Kelso
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours which costs more to fix than a reseal. Around smaller places like Kelso, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Sanitary sealant for Kelso buildings
Kelso is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant. Kelso has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits.
En suites at hotels like Cross Keys Hotel, under half a mile south-west of Kelso, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. Units at estates like Rosewood Industrial Estate, under half a mile to the east of Kelso, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.
Kelso is about 32 miles south-east of Bonnyrigg, in the Scottish Borders. Our applicators travel to Kelso for work on washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area.
