Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Washroom sealing in Philpstoun
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are shower tray joints that have opened up and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling. Most enquiries from Philpstoun start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Philpstoun is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.

What happens if it’s left?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. For buildings near Philpstoun, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements as well as site permits.
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Resealing early protects the unit.
FAQs: Philpstoun
Is Philpstoun too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Philpstoun are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Must every washroom in our Philpstoun building shut while you work?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Philpstoun with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

When to call us in Philpstoun
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
For a hall at a building such as Pardovan Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

Sanitary sealant for Philpstoun buildings
Philpstoun lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Being in the east of Scotland, Philpstoun gets less rain than the west coast. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
At a school such as Winchburgh Academy, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like St Michael's Hospital (2.3 miles west of Philpstoun) need cleanable, sound silicone.
