Washroom sealing in Ollaberry, done properly
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. Site teams most often ask us about urinal joints that look unhygienic and panel joints letting water behind, on showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Searching for sealant specialists in Ollaberry? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Ollaberry tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building near Ollaberry, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Note failing joints building by building
- Share your site rules when you send details
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Quoting for work in Ollaberry
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and your cleaning team stops chasing it. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Ollaberry, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

When to call us in Ollaberry
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
Around Ollaberry, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they’ll work around occupants
Keeping Ollaberry washrooms open while we work
Ollaberry sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Island jobs, Ollaberry among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Knowing how many washrooms there are lets us plan the days on the island.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Ollaberry Church and Churchyard with Monument, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Ollaberry is in the Shetland Islands. Commercial clients in Ollaberry can call on us for washrooms and wet areas. Our the Shetland Islands coverage takes in 63 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
Anyone looking for washroom sealing in ZE2 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Just outside Ollaberry, we also work in Hogaland (1 mile south-west), Urafirth (4 miles west), Sullom (5 miles south), Hillswick (5 miles west) and Scatsta (5 miles south). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.

Your questions answered
Do you work on the island where Ollaberry is?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Ollaberry. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Ollaberry for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
