Questions we’re asked in Melness
Must every washroom in our Melness building shut while you work?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Which documents can you supply for work in Melness?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you work in Melness?
Yes. We take on work across Melness.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Why it’s worth doing now in Melness
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant even when the room is otherwise spotless. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Melness before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Melness
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
In any commercial washroom in or near Melness, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Busy facilities in and around Melness
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Melness, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Melness is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
Around Melness, we keep some washrooms open while others are resealed.
Melness is about 33 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. Our applicators travel to Melness for work on washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Melness among them.
We cover the IV27 postcode districts. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Cornhill Road and Joseph Mackay Court and the roads nearby. Sites close to Melness are covered too, including Tongue (4 miles south), Am Blàran Odhar (7 miles east), Smoo (11 miles west), Diuranais (12 miles west) and Strathy (15 miles east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Surface by surface
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Melness, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
