How we handle washroom sealing in New Lanark
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you’re dealing with stained sealant around pans and urinals and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in New Lanark, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as New Lanark, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant typically can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
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.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
Surface by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
Kitchens and tea points
We plan kitchen sealing around when the kitchen is in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near New Lanark.

FAQs: New Lanark
Does a hotel in New Lanark need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lockhart Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
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.
Sanitary sealant for New Lanark buildings
New Lanark has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest. Being in the east of Scotland, New Lanark gets less rain than the west coast. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
At a retail site such as Braidfute Retail Park, 0.7 miles north-east of New Lanark, public and staff toilets see heavy use, so mouldy or split sealant is best replaced in phases. On a healthcare site such as Lockhart Hospital, which lies north-east of New Lanark, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. For a hall at a building such as New Lanark Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.
