Washroom sealing in Lennie, done properly

Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. If you have sealant lifting along a tray edge and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, we can put it right, on urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Lennie is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

Travel to smaller places like Lennie is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photographs and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.

Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Lennie

Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.

Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:

  • Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
  • Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
  • Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
  • Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops

Clinical washrooms at sites like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 2.9 miles east of Lennie, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.

What your quote should include

  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
  • Who will actually carry out the work
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Keeping the joints sound

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
  • Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
  • Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
  • Make sure washroom ventilation is running

If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.

Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.

Your questions answered

Will our hotel in Lennie need to close for the work?

In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus?

Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.

Do you need to see the site first?

It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

Can weather delay the job?

It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

What sets the cost

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Phasing around occupants

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

What we need to price the job

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

  • The site address and postcode
  • Your programme or deadline
  • What the building is and how it’s used
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height

For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.

Keeping Lennie washrooms open while we work

The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Lennie, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Lennie. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.

Units at estates like West Craigs Industrial Estate (1.1 miles south-east of Lennie) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. In a centre such as The Gyle Shopping Centre, 1.5 miles south-east of Lennie, public washrooms are resealed a block of facilities at a time.

Lennie is about 5 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Our applicators travel to Lennie for work on washrooms and wet areas. Our Edinburgh coverage takes in 174 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

Why deal with it now?

Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Around smaller places like Lennie, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.

No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Should maintenance staff do it?

Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.

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.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Where we can, we combine work around Lennie with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.

  1. We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
  2. A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
  3. The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
  4. Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
  5. A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
  6. You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.

Before we start on site

  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
