Washroom sealing in Piershill, done properly
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. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have stained sealant around pans and urinals and sealant stained black around basins and showers, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Piershill, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. We use anti-mould silicone in washrooms and food-safe hygienic sealant at kitchen worktops.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open

Wet areas in Piershill’s workplaces
With the shore within about 2 miles, Piershill counts as a coastal location, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The 2 miles around Piershill include nine care or nursing homes. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
At a hospital like Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (Little France), which lies south of Piershill, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. For an occupier at a site such as West Telferton Industrial Park (0.7 miles east of Piershill), the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office. For a campus such as University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus (1.4 miles west of Piershill), showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.

Why act early in Piershill
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can work in a care setting near Piershill go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
