How we handle washroom sealing in Kiltarlity
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and stained sealant around pans and urinals, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kiltarlity first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Kiltarlity is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photographs and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs near Kiltarlity are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- 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.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Washroom sealing in Kiltarlity: the local picture
Being in the west of Scotland, Kiltarlity gets more rain than eastern areas. 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.
Around Kiltarlity, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
Kiltarlity is about 10 miles west of Inverness, in Highland. We cover Kiltarlity, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 256 places in Highland, from busy centres to rural villages.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Kiltarlity
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
For buildings around Kiltarlity, washrooms can be done in phases so some facilities are always open.

FAQs: Kiltarlity
Must every washroom in our Kiltarlity building shut while you work?
Usually 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.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Kiltarlity?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Kiltarlity in your area?
Yes. Kiltarlity falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. We plan the phasing around that so there are always rooms open.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
