Old Deer: questions and answers
Is Old Deer off your patch?
Not at all. Old Deer is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Maud Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How we handle washroom sealing in Old Deer
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. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. The enquiries we see most involve sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, on vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Old Deer? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Old Deer, 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.
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.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Old Deer, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What we’re called out for in Old Deer
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Look out for the following:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Users noticing mouldy joints
For a school such as Mintlaw Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates.
Before you book anyone
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Old Deer. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
