Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in North Lochs
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. Most enquiries involve stained sealant around pans and urinals and failed sealant behind washroom basins, on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in North Lochs is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as North Lochs, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Travel to smaller Scottish places like North Lochs is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached

What else we do in North Lochs
What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like North Lochs, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

Washroom sealing in North Lochs: the local picture
North Lochs is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. North Lochs is on Scotland’s wetter western side. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Western Isles Hospital, 6 miles north-east of North Lochs, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.
North Lochs is about 6 miles south-west of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Anywhere in HS2, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Na h-Eileanan Siar coverage takes in 87 places, large and small.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout HS2, whatever the building. Close to North Lochs, our area also takes in Crosbost (1 mile east), Liurbost (1 mile west), Lacasaidh (4 miles south-west), Marybank (5 miles north) and Stornoway (6 miles north-east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Building owners, agents and FMs in North Lochs
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. North Lochs can form part of a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below, and we will say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Do you need washroom sealing in North Lochs?
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Halls linked to places like Parish Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Questions about North Lochs
Is North Lochs inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as North Lochs. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Must every washroom in our North Lochs building shut while you work?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
