How a job runs

Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For a building near North Motherwell, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

  1. We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
  2. The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
  3. The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
  4. We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
  5. New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.

Getting the site ready

  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Sanitary sealant for North Motherwell buildings

Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from North Motherwell. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. The west of Scotland, where North Motherwell is, gets more rain than the east. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.

Toilets at colleges like New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus (1.9 miles south-east of North Motherwell) take heavy use from students and staff alike. Toilets at places like Brandon Shopping Centre, 0.9 miles south-east of North Motherwell, are cleaned constantly, so silicone needs to be sound and smooth.

Questions we are asked in North Motherwell

Is a smaller place like North Motherwell outside your area?

Not at all. North Motherwell is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Must a hotel around North Motherwell close while you work?

In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

How do we ask for a quote?

There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.

Is colour matching possible?

It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Can washrooms stay open while you work?

Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas

These are the things that shape the price:

  • The product specified
  • Distance, for remote addresses
  • Phasing around occupants
  • How accessible the joints are

There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What we need to price the job

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:

  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • The product your specification calls for
  • The type of building and who uses it

A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

General trades versus a specialist

Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Aftercare for building managers

After handover, these steps help:

  • Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
  • Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
  • Leave signs up until the cure time is over
  • Clear standing water from shower floors where possible

Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.

A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.

How the job changes by surface

Changing rooms and gyms

We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

Basins and vanity tops

Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Resealing early protects the unit.

Common problems we fix in North Motherwell

Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:

  • Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
  • Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
  • Open joints along basins and vanity units
  • Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant

Units at estates like Braidhurst Industrial Estate (0.6 miles north-east of North Motherwell) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.

What your quote should include

  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • Their public liability cover
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
