Washroom sealing for businesses in Newton of Falkland
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
How we handle washroom sealing in Newton of Falkland
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. Site teams most often ask us about discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.
