About our washroom sealing in Markethill
In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are panel joints letting water behind and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. Most enquiries from Markethill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Markethill is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Markethill, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints

Signs you need washroom sealing in Markethill
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
Halls linked to places like Abbey Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

Markethill: questions and answers
Will the toilets in our Markethill building be out of use?
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.
Is Markethill too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
What affects the price in Markethill
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Markethill
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Commercial washrooms in Markethill
Markethill is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Healthcare estates like Blairgowrie Community Hospital, 4.6 miles to the north-west of Markethill, expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. En suites at hotels like Strathmore Hotel (under half a mile north-west of Markethill) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Markethill is about 5 miles south-east of Blairgowrie and Rattray, in Perth and Kinross. Anywhere in PH13, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Perth and Kinross coverage takes in 114 places, large and small. Our Dundee page has more on work in that area (12 miles or so).

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
