About our washroom sealing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you have shower tray joints that have opened up and users noticing mouldy joints, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Kirkton of Auchterhouse, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller Scottish places like Kirkton of Auchterhouse, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Kirkton of Auchterhouse: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Royal Dundee Liff Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Kirkton of Auchterhouse outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Kirkton of Auchterhouse. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

What else we do in Kirkton of Auchterhouse
Common problems we fix in Kirkton of Auchterhouse
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
At a hospital like Royal Dundee Liff Hospital (3.6 miles south of Kirkton of Auchterhouse), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant and we flag that beforehand.
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
