Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Old Monkland
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. If you are dealing with sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, we can help, on IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs alike. For commercial sealant work in Old Monkland, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Old Monkland, 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why deal with it now?
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed for now. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Old Monkland, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Note failing joints building by building
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Old Monkland, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Coathill Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do hotels near Old Monkland have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of 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, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.
