How we handle washroom sealing in Ravelston
From one staff toilet in Ravelston to washrooms across a whole estate, we work the same way: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote and a site visit is an option. If you’re dealing with a new bead over an old one coming away and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Ravelston start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
What affects the price in Ravelston
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Keeping Ravelston washrooms open while we work
Ravelston sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Ravelston has eight care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
En suites at hotels like Murrayfield Hotel (0.5 miles south of Ravelston) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. At a college such as Edinburgh College - Granton Campus (1.7 miles north of Ravelston), washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. For a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University - Merchiston Campus, 1.9 miles to the south-east of Ravelston, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Leave it or put it right?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
The work involved drives the cost: 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.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
