How we handle washroom sealing in Old Rayne
In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve split or peeling sealant at shower trays and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Old Rayne, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.

For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 Rayne, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- 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.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

FAQs: Old Rayne
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Insch War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will the toilets in our Old Rayne building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
