Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
How we handle washroom sealing in Reiss
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. Site teams most often ask us about a new bead over an old one coming away and stained sealant around pans and urinals, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Reiss? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Reiss. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The specified product makes a difference, 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 we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
Common questions from Reiss clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Caithness General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Reiss off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.

Advice
Also in Reiss
Do you need washroom sealing in Reiss?
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- A new bead over an old one coming away
Office washrooms on sites such as Lochshell Business Park, 2 miles to the south-east of Reiss, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.

Keeping Reiss washrooms open while we work
Reiss lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. The east of Scotland, where Reiss is, gets less rain than the west. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
On a healthcare site such as Caithness General Hospital (3.1 miles south-east of Reiss), washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
Reiss is about 16 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Reiss. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

If your building is just outside Reiss, we cover Ackergillshore (2 miles east), Haster (2 miles south), Wick (3 miles south-east), Staxigoe (4 miles south-east) and Whiterow (4 miles south-east).
