Why act early in Poolewe
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed for now. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

About our washroom sealing in Poolewe
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. The enquiries we see most involve sealant lifting along a tray edge and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Poolewe, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Poolewe tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Wet areas in Poolewe’s workplaces
Poolewe sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Poolewe is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
En suites at hotels like Poolewe Hotel, under half a mile north of Poolewe, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Poolewe is in Highland. Poolewe sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Poolewe is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Poolewe: questions and answers
Is Poolewe too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Must every washroom in our Poolewe building shut while you work?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Surface by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. We include them in the survey.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
What we are called out for in Poolewe
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.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
In any commercial washroom in or near Poolewe, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
