- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

About our washroom sealing in Mansewood
In a commercial washroom, sealant is normally the first thing to wear out. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. If you’re dealing with users noticing mouldy joints and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Mansewood start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
City hotels, restaurants and bars in Scotland need washrooms that look cared for and kitchens that clean easily. We use anti-mould silicone in washrooms and food-safe hygienic sealant at kitchen worktops.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Mansewood. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Failed sealant in a shared building in Mansewood can affect more than one owner. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Quoting for work in Mansewood
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
Common questions from Mansewood clients
Can work at a site such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do hotels near Mansewood have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote before we start.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
