How we handle washroom sealing in New Luce
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. Site teams most often ask us about stained sealant around pans and urinals and shower tray joints that have opened up, across vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in New Luce from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Why deal with it now?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- One contact handling all your sites
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

For managing agents and facilities managers
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.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. New Luce can form part of a wider programme across Dumfries and Galloway.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Questions about New Luce
Which documents can you supply for work in New Luce?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Must every washroom in our New Luce building shut while you work?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is New Luce in your area?
Yes. We cover New Luce and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around New Luce, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
