About our washroom sealing in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you’re dealing with shower tray joints that have opened up and open joints along basins and vanity units, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Kirkpatrick-Fleming, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Common questions from Kirkpatrick-Fleming clients
Is a hospital such as Annan Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will all the washrooms in our Kirkpatrick-Fleming building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Do you work in Kirkpatrick-Fleming?
Yes. We take on work across Kirkpatrick-Fleming.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
The work is phased so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
When to call us in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
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.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- A new bead over an old one coming away
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Kirkpatrick Fleming Parish Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.

Doing it in-house
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 typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

What else we do in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
Why act early in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells which costs more to fix than a reseal. For buildings near Kirkpatrick-Fleming, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
