FAQs: Lady
Is Lady inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Lady is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Lady?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. 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.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Washroom sealing in Lady
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you’re dealing with black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can help, on IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and vanity units and basins alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lady from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Lady, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant typically 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. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Commercial clients in Lady
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Where we can, we combine work around Lady with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Request a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

What we are called out for in Lady
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
Around Lady, we keep some washrooms open while others are resealed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points

What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any permits the site uses.
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms in gyms and leisure centres stay wet and warm so sealant there works very hard. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Washroom sealing in Lady: the local picture
Lady lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being on an island, Lady means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Photos and a room list let us plan the visit around the crossings.
In any commercial washroom in or near Lady, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
