Washroom sealing in Old Craighall, done properly
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. If you are dealing with users noticing mouldy joints and open joints along basins and vanity units, we can put it right, on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Old Craighall from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Old Craighall, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Do you need washroom sealing in Old Craighall?
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
For a site such as Shawfair Park Hospital, which lies south-west of Old Craighall, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.

- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply

Questions about Old Craighall
Do hotels near Old Craighall have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Queen Margaret University for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
