How we handle washroom sealing in Mountcastle
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. If you have resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and sealant lifting along a tray edge, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Mountcastle start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Commercial washrooms in Mountcastle
Mountcastle sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Mountcastle. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later.
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (Little France) (to the south of Mountcastle) need cleanable, sound silicone. Customer toilets in retail centres such as Seaforth Retail Park, 1.1 miles to the north of Mountcastle, rarely close, so resealing is phased. Toilets at colleges like Edinburgh College - Milton Road Campus (to the south-east of Mountcastle) take heavy use from students and staff alike.
Mountcastle is about 3 miles east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. We cover commercial sites throughout Mountcastle, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 174 places in Edinburgh, from busy centres to rural villages.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mountcastle
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. In Mountcastle, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

What else we do in Mountcastle
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Different surfaces, different methods
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen work can be phased around service. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Mountcastle. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. City jobs in Mountcastle typically need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

FAQs: Mountcastle
Will our hotel in Mountcastle need to close for the 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 you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Normally not. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
