Sanitary sealant for Mount Florida buildings
Mount Florida 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. The area within 2 miles of Mount Florida holds several hotels. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
On an industrial estate such as Southpoint Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the north of Mount Florida, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear. For a college such as Glasgow Clyde College - Langside Campus (under half a mile north-west of Mount Florida), half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.
Mount Florida is about 2 miles south of Glasgow, in Glasgow. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Mount Florida use us for work on washrooms and wet areas. Across Glasgow, 171 places are covered, Mount Florida among them.

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Mount Florida
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. The enquiries we see most involve complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, across showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Mount Florida first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates have washrooms and wet areas in nearly every building. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why deal with it now?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, 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.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods

Questions about Mount Florida
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Strathclyde?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as New Victoria Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
