Questions about Salen
What site paperwork comes with a job in Salen?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Salen off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Washroom sealing in Salen
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. Site teams most often ask us about complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles. For commercial sealant work in Salen, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller Scottish places like Salen, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant normally can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For work around Salen, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. For buildings near Salen, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Commercial washrooms in Salen
With the shore within about 1 mile, Salen counts as a coastal location, 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 we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. The west of Scotland, where Salen is, gets more rain than the east. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
Around Salen, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces. At a hotel such as The Salen Hotel, which lies north of Salen, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
