About our washroom sealing in Maryhill

You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you have panel joints letting water behind and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Maryhill tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

Ground-floor premises below tenements in Scotland’s cities often have small staff toilets and kitchens. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Maryhill

Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
  • A new bead over an old one coming away
  • Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
  • Urinal joints that look unhygienic

Clinical washrooms at sites like Nuffield Health Glasgow Hospital (to the south-west of Maryhill) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Their pre-qualification and accreditations
  • How they handle RAMS and site documents
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Keeping the joints sound

For the best life from the joints:

  • Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
  • Respect the cure time before reopening each room
  • Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
  • Make sure washroom ventilation is running

Keep extract fans working and vents clear. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.

Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.

Busy facilities in and around Maryhill

A 2-mile radius around Maryhill takes in plenty of hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest. Maryhill is on Scotland’s wetter western side. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.

Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Glasgow Garscube Campus (1 mile north-west of Maryhill) are easiest to reseal during vacations. For centre management at a site such as West End Retail Park, 1.6 miles south-west of Maryhill, washroom work is planned around footfall.

Maryhill is about 2 miles south-east of Bearsden, in Glasgow. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Maryhill can call on us for washrooms and wet areas, as part of our coverage of Glasgow. Across Glasgow, 171 places are covered, including Maryhill.

Postcode districts covered here: G20, G12 and G23. Buildings on Cowal Road, Cadder Road and Station Road are within our area. With the A81 nearby, Maryhill is straightforward for us to reach. We also cover Botany (1 mile south), Wyndford (1 mile south), Gilshochill (1 mile east), High Ruchill (1 mile south-east) and Cadder (1 mile east) for washrooms and wet areas. Bigger towns within reach include Glasgow (3 miles south), Calton (4 miles south-east), Langside (5 miles south), Yoker (3 miles west), Mount Florida (5 miles south) and Hillpark (6 miles south).

Around Maryhill

We work on buildings around Dawsholm Park, The Crosslands pub and Glasgow University Library and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Maryhill itself: Summerston station. A little further out are Glasgow Museum of Transport (1.8 miles south) and Chinatown (2.1 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Castle Hill and Kilmardinny.

What sealant work can’t fix

Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
  • Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
  • Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

What we seal

  • Vanity units and basins
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Urinals and WCs
  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Kitchens and tea points

How a job runs

Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Work on a big city site in Scotland usually involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.

  1. First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
  2. Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
  3. Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
  4. We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
  5. We confirm reopening times for each washroom.

Before we start on site

  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Work for main contractors and building owners

If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Maryhill. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Questions we are asked in Maryhill

Is a hospital such as Nuffield Health Glasgow Hospital somewhere you can work?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Can you work in a care home near Maryhill with residents in?

Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

When can the area be used after sealing?

The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

How long does a job like this take?

That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

What will the job cost?

Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.

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.

How the job changes by surface

Changing rooms and gyms

Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.

Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints

Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
