Questions about Lauder
Is a smaller place like Lauder outside your area?

What paperwork can you provide for a job in Lauder?

Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Lauder
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant behind washroom basins and users noticing mouldy joints. For commercial sealant work in Lauder, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Lauder, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Surface by surface
Kitchens and tea points
We plan kitchen sealing around when the kitchen is in use. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.
Basins and vanity tops
Natural stone tops can be marked by acetoxy silicone, so the product is chosen to suit.
When to call us in Lauder
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.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
For a hotel such as Black Bull Hotel (under half a mile south-east of Lauder), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
