About our washroom sealing in Kinlochleven
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Most enquiries involve open joints along basins and vanity units and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, across vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Kinlochleven it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Kinlochleven is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Busy facilities in and around Kinlochleven
Kinlochleven sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Kinlochleven 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. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
If you manage an office at a site such as Kinlochleven Business Park, which lies north-east of Kinlochleven, the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time.

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. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Public liability insurance in place
- Colour options checked against the specified product

Do you need washroom sealing in Kinlochleven?
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
For a hotel such as MacDonald Hotel (less than half a mile north-west of Kinlochleven), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Before you book anyone
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What site paperwork they can supply
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building near Kinlochleven, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.

Getting the site ready

- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Ask for a quote

Kinlochleven: questions and answers
Must a hotel around Kinlochleven close while you work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Will all the washrooms in our Kinlochleven building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
