Washroom sealing in Killochyett
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. If you’re dealing with open joints at the base of cubicle panels and sealant stained black around basins and showers, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Killochyett tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Killochyett before they leak.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For a building near Killochyett, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.

Wet areas in Killochyett’s workplaces
Being in the east of Scotland, Killochyett gets less rain than the west coast. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
For a hotel such as Manorhead Hotel, less than half a mile south of Killochyett, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Killochyett is about 6 miles north of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. If you’re looking for washroom sealing in Killochyett, we can help.

Common problems we fix in Killochyett
Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
Around Killochyett, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Building owners, agents and FMs in Killochyett
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Killochyett can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.
Basins and vanity tops
Natural stone tops can be marked by acetoxy silicone, so the product is chosen to suit.
What we can’t put right
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
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points

Common questions from Killochyett clients
Which documents can you supply for work in Killochyett?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will the toilets in our Killochyett building be out of use?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
