What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any permits the site uses.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath, and we will say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
How we handle washroom sealing in Motherwell
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. The enquiries we see most involve users noticing mouldy joints and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, across urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Motherwell? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Leisure centres and gyms in towns like Motherwell have changing rooms and showers that are rarely dry. Joints at trays, wet floors and wall panels need sanitary silicone laid on clean, dry surfaces.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions answered
Must a hotel around Motherwell close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Can work at a site such as New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
Keeping Motherwell washrooms open while we work
The area within 2 miles of Motherwell holds a number of hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. Being in the east of Scotland, Motherwell gets less rain than the west coast. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like University Hospital Wishaw, 2.2 miles south-east of Motherwell, need cleanable, sound silicone. At a college such as New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus, 1 mile to the south-east of Motherwell, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. Toilets at places like Brandon Shopping Centre (to the south-west of Motherwell) are cleaned constantly, so silicone needs to be sound and smooth.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
