About our washroom sealing in Partick
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. If you have stained sealant around pans and urinals and failed sealant behind washroom basins, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Partick first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Ground-floor premises below tenements in Scotland’s cities often have small staff toilets and kitchens. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and your cleaning team stops chasing it. In Partick, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Questions about Partick
Is a hospital such as West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will our hotel in Partick need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Keeping Partick washrooms open while we work
The 2 miles around Partick include three care or nursing homes. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Partick. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
At a college such as Glasgow Clyde College - Anniesland Campus, 1.1 miles north of Partick, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus (to the east of Partick) are easiest to reseal during vacations. Clinical washrooms at sites like West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital, 0.5 miles to the south-east of Partick, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
Partick is about 2 miles north-west of Glasgow, in Glasgow. We cover Partick and the rest of Glasgow, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across Glasgow, 171 places are covered, Partick among them.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Condensation from failed extract fans
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Partick, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Doing it in-house
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
Stone and some composite tops need a neutral-cure sealant, so the product is chosen to suit.
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Stained or split joints here trap smells and look unhygienic.
