On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Old Philpstoun is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.

Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. Site teams most often ask us about stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and sealant lifting along a tray edge, on kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Old Philpstoun, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Wet areas in Old Philpstoun’s workplaces
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Old Philpstoun, 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, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. The east of Scotland, where Old Philpstoun is, gets less rain than the west. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like St Michael's Hospital, 3 miles west of Old Philpstoun, need cleanable, sound silicone. Pupil toilets at schools like Winchburgh Academy take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

Questions about Old Philpstoun
Is Old Philpstoun off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will the toilets in our Old Philpstoun building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Old Philpstoun
Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Users noticing mouldy joints
For a hall at a building such as Pardovan Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Quoting for work in Old Philpstoun
What shapes the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Surface by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
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.
