How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building near Riccarton, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached

About our washroom sealing in Riccarton
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. If you are dealing with mould spotting along silicone joints and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Riccarton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Riccarton tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Wet areas in Riccarton’s workplaces
Being in the west of Scotland, Riccarton gets more rain than eastern areas. Damp air means a poorly ventilated washroom rarely dries out fully, which is when mould gets into the sealant.
Toilets at colleges like Ayrshire College - Kilmarnock Campus (2.2 miles north of Riccarton) take heavy use from students and staff alike. Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Mayfield Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Riccarton) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard. Pupil toilets at schools like Kilmarnock Academy take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

Leave it or put it right?
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints even when the room is otherwise spotless. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Riccarton. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Riccarton: questions and answers
Can work at a site such as Ayrshire College - Kilmarnock Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Riccarton too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Riccarton are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
