Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Kirkliston
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, 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. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints at the base of cubicle panels and users noticing mouldy joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Kirkliston is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Kirkliston tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Busy facilities in and around Kirkliston
With the shore within about 3 miles, Kirkliston counts as a coastal location, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Being in the east of Scotland, Kirkliston gets less rain than the west coast. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
For a hall at a building such as Kirkliston Parish Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. Units at estates like Newbridge Industrial estate (1.3 miles south of Kirkliston) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. For a campus such as Heriot-Watt University, which lies south-east of Kirkliston, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.

Questions about Kirkliston
Is Kirkliston off your patch?
No. Places such as Kirkliston are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a hotel in Kirkliston need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
