About our washroom sealing in Meadowbank
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. If you have stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Meadowbank, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Shops and offices at the foot of tenement blocks in Scottish cities often have compact staff washrooms and tea points. Compact, poorly ventilated rooms are hard on sealant, so it’s worth resealing before it spreads.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day, so mould is a constant battle. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions we’re asked in Meadowbank
Can work at a site such as University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a hospital such as Astley Ainslie Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you cover Meadowbank?
Yes. Meadowbank falls within our area, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Why deal with it now?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Note failing joints building by building
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
Sanitary sealant for Meadowbank buildings
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Meadowbank, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The area within 2 miles of Meadowbank holds plenty of hotels. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Clinical washrooms at sites like Astley Ainslie Hospital, 2.5 miles to the south-west of Meadowbank, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. For a college such as Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh, 1.6 miles to the west of Meadowbank, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work. At a hotel such as Terrace Hotel (0.7 miles west of Meadowbank), the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.

On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
