Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Leith
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. Most enquiries involve mould spotting along silicone joints and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, across IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Leith is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Shops and offices at the foot of tenement blocks in Scottish cities often have compact staff washrooms and tea points. Compact, poorly ventilated rooms are hard on sealant.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For premises in Leith, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site

Advice
Common questions from Leith clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Leith in your area?
Yes. We cover Leith, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.

Other services in Leith
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Leith can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Leith
Leith sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Leith. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Clinical washrooms at sites like Western General Hospital (Edinburgh), 2.8 miles south-west of Leith, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. Units at estates like Tower Street Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Leith) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. En suites at hotels like Abbot's House Hotel (to the south-east of Leith) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Leith is about 3 miles north-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Commercial clients in Leith can call on us for washrooms and wet areas, as part of our coverage of Edinburgh. 174 places across Edinburgh fall within our area, Leith among them.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
