Washroom sealing for Roslin sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Roslin, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
Washroom sealing in Roslin
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Roslin, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Roslin tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Roslin
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Roslin can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Common questions from Roslin clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Edinburgh - Easter Bush Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Princess Margaret Rose Orthopaedic Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Roslin
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
For an occupier at a site such as Bilston Glen Industrial Estate, which lies north of Roslin, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and make the room look neglected.
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
