About our washroom sealing in Locheport
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. The enquiries we see most involve urinal joints that look unhygienic and sealant stained black around basins and showers, across urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Locheport from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Locheport, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant typically can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why act early in Locheport
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. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Locheport. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Questions we’re asked in Locheport
Can you take on a job in Locheport, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Locheport included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Must every washroom in our Locheport building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
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.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.
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. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Locheport. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready

Advice
Washroom sealing around Locheport: how the place shapes the job
With the shore within about 1 mile, Locheport counts as a coastal location, 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. Being in the west of Scotland, Locheport 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.
In any commercial washroom in or near Locheport, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints. Phased work lets washrooms in and around Locheport stay partly open while sealant is renewed.
