About our washroom sealing in Lochawe
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. If you have split or peeling sealant at shower trays and urinal joints that look unhygienic, we can put it right, on showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Lochawe, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Lochawe is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Wet areas in Lochawe’s workplaces
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Lochawe. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. Lochawe is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
Halls linked to places like St Conan’s Kirk host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.
Lochawe is about 30 miles north-west of Helensburgh, in Argyll and Bute. Any commercial site in Lochawe is covered. Our Argyll and Bute coverage takes in 124 places, large and small. We also cover Glasgow, around 48 miles from Lochawe.
We take on washrooms and wet areas across the PA33 postcode area. Among the streets we cover are Old Military Road and St Conan's Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Stronmilchan (1 mile east), Dalmally (3 miles east), Ardbrecknish (6 miles south-west), Taynuilt (8 miles west) and Clachan (10 miles south-east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Quoting for work in Lochawe
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Common problems we fix in Lochawe
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Panel joints letting water behind
At a hotel such as Loch Awe Hotel (less than half a mile south-west of Lochawe), the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Lochawe, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Questions about Lochawe
Does a hotel in Lochawe need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Will all the washrooms in our Lochawe building be closed at once?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, 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.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
The work is phased so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
