Lochaline: questions and answers
Will the toilets in our Lochaline building be out of use?
Normally only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Is Lochaline too far out for you?
No. Places such as Lochaline are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How we handle washroom sealing in Lochaline
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you are dealing with urinal joints that look unhygienic and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Lochaline, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Lochaline is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
Kitchens and tea points
We plan kitchen sealing around when the kitchen is in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What we’re called out for in Lochaline
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
Hotels such as Lochaline Hotel, less than half a mile south of Lochaline, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.

What else we do in Lochaline
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Keeping Lochaline washrooms open while we work
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Lochaline, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Being in the west of Scotland, Lochaline gets more rain than eastern areas. Damp air means a poorly ventilated washroom rarely dries out fully, which is when mould gets into the sealant.
Healthcare estates like Mull and Iona Community Hospital (to the south-east of Lochaline) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. Halls linked to places like Kiel Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For a building near Lochaline, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- 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.

- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
