Common questions from Redhall clients

Can work at a site such as Edinburgh Napier University fit around teaching?

Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.

Does a hotel in Redhall need to shut while its sealant is renewed?

Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.

Can you quote from photos?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.

How much does the work cost?

We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.

Is Redhall in your area?

Yes. Sites across Redhall are covered, with one number for every area we cover.

How long do sealant joints last?

There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Redhall

Whether it’s a single toilet block in Redhall or a programme across several buildings, the route is the same: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. If you are dealing with washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can put it right, on urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Redhall, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.

Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Leave it or put it right?

Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells which costs more to fix than a reseal. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.

The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What you get with us

  • Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
  • Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
  • Matching to RAL references, product permitting
  • Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions

Signs you need washroom sealing in Redhall

Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.

Most enquiries start with something like this:

  • Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
  • Stained sealant around pans and urinals
  • Sealant lifting along a tray edge
  • Mould spotting along silicone joints

Schools such as Merchiston Castle School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.

  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Our process

When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For premises in Redhall, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.

  1. We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
  2. We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
  3. Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
  4. Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
  5. New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.

What we need from you

  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Move anything stored against the joints

Quotes

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Owners, agents and contractors

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

When to bring in a specialist

The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What we can’t put right

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
  • Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
  • Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint

Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work in Redhall

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Redhall

Redhall has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. 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. Redhall is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.

Units at estates like Hailes Park Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles west of Redhall, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. On a healthcare site such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 1.5 miles north of Redhall, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
