What affects the price in Lochmaddy
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
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 fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
About our washroom sealing in Lochmaddy
In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you’re dealing with black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and a new bead over an old one coming away, we can help, on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lochmaddy tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller Scottish places like Lochmaddy, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant normally can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Lochmaddy: questions and answers
Is Lochmaddy inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Lochmaddy included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Lochmaddy for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
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.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
Do you need washroom sealing in Lochmaddy?
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
Hotels such as Lochmaddy Hotel (to the south-east of Lochmaddy) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.

Keeping Lochmaddy washrooms open while we work

Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Island jobs, Lochmaddy among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Send photos of each washroom and how many there are, so the visit is planned properly.
Washrooms near Lochmaddy get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lochmaddy is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right 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.
- 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
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
