What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
To get a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Different surfaces, different methods
Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints and we look at them as one job.
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.

What we are called out for in Lochfoot
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
For buildings on a site such as Garroch Business Park, 2.9 miles east of Lochfoot, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Washroom sealing in Lochfoot: the local picture
Being in the east of Scotland, Lochfoot gets less rain than the west coast. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Healthcare estates like Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary (to the east of Lochfoot) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Parish Church and Burial-Ground, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
Lochfoot is about 5 miles west of Dumfries, in Dumfries and Galloway. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Lochfoot can call on us for washrooms and wet areas. Our Dumfries and Galloway coverage takes in 139 places, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Lochfoot, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- 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.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Related advice
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Panel boards already damaged by water
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Questions we’re asked in Lochfoot
Is Lochfoot off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Must every washroom in our Lochfoot building shut while you work?
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, 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. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
