How we handle washroom sealing in Midlem
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are users noticing mouldy joints and open joints at the base of cubicle panels. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Midlem, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Midlem, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Work we carry out in the Scottish Borders comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Midlem. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- 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.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Doing it in-house
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Questions we are asked in Midlem
Can you work on a hospital site such as Dingleton Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Midlem too far out for you?
Not at all. Midlem is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. For buildings near Midlem, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Common problems we fix in Midlem
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Around Midlem, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
