General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
About our washroom sealing in Lumsden
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. If you have open joints at the base of cubicle panels and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Lumsden, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller Scottish places like Lumsden, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Related advice
Lumsden: questions and answers
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Lumsden?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Must every washroom in our Lumsden building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Why deal with it now?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed while bigger works are planned. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Lumsden. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

How the job changes by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
A panel that has already swollen won’t be fixed by sealant and we’ll point out any we see.
Kitchens and tea points
We plan kitchen sealing around when the kitchen is in use. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.
What we’re called out for in Lumsden
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
Around Lumsden, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
