How we handle washroom sealing in New Deer
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we’re called in for most is open joints along basins and vanity units and mould spotting along silicone joints.

For washroom work around New Deer, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Send photos and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. For buildings near New Deer, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Note failing joints building by building
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. New Deer can form part of a wider programme.
Questions we are asked in New Deer
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Maud Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will all the washrooms in our New Deer building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Advice
Wet areas in New Deer’s workplaces
Being in the east of Scotland, New Deer gets less rain than the west coast. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
At a hospital like Maud Hospital (2.5 miles east of New Deer), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as New Deer Parish Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
