Washroom sealing in Royston, done properly
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. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. Most enquiries involve discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, across kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and vanity units and basins. Whoever orders the work in Royston, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates have washrooms and wet areas in nearly every building. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
Healthcare and care settings
We phase washroom sealing so care areas are never left without facilities. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and your cleaning team stops chasing it. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why appoint us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Your questions answered
Will our hotel in Royston need to close for the work?
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.
Would you work within a site like Glasgow Royal Infirmary?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.

Keeping Royston washrooms open while we work
Being in the west of Scotland, Royston gets more rain than eastern areas. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first. The area within 2 miles of Royston holds plenty of hotels. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
At a hotel such as Cathedral House Hotel, 0.5 miles to the south of Royston, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms. At a university such as University of Strathclyde, 0.7 miles south-west of Royston, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. Customer toilets and staff facilities at retail sites such as St Rollox Business and Retail Park (to the north-east of Royston) need sealant that stays clean under heavy use.
