Questions we are asked in Leuchars
Can work at a site such as University of St Andrews fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Andrews Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you cover Leuchars?
Yes. We take on work across Leuchars, with one number for every area we cover.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Washroom sealing in Leuchars
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and panel joints letting water behind. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Leuchars, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Leuchars, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Washroom sealing around Leuchars: points for this area
Leuchars lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Leuchars is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as St Athernase Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of St Andrews, 4.2 miles south-east of Leuchars, are easiest to reseal during vacations.
Leuchars is about 7 miles south of Broughty Ferry, in Fife. Any commercial site in Leuchars is covered. Leuchars is one of 132 places in Fife on our list. We also cover Dundee, around 7 miles from Leuchars.
Commercial sites across KY16 are covered for washrooms and wet areas. Buildings on Main Street, Station Road and Norman View are within our area for washrooms and wet areas. Main routes into Leuchars include the A919, useful when we plan access and materials. We also cover Guardbridge (1 mile south), Balmullo (2 miles west), Lucklawhill (2 miles west), Pickletillum (2 miles north-west) and Drumoig (3 miles north-west) for washrooms and wet areas. A short drive away, we cover Leven (13 miles south), St Andrews (4 miles south-east), Cupar (7 miles south-west), Methil (14 miles south), Newport-on-Tay (4 miles north-west) and Anstruther (13 miles south-east).

Different surfaces, different methods
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leuchars
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells which costs more to fix than a reseal. 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.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When to call us in Leuchars
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Users noticing mouldy joints
At a hospital like St Andrews Community Hospital, which lies south-east of Leuchars, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
