How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Sandness, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.

Washroom sealing in Sandness, done properly
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are shower tray joints that have opened up and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen. For commercial sealant work in Sandness, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
For washroom work around Sandness, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Send photos and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first

FAQs: Sandness
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Sandness?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you work on the island where Sandness is?
Yes, Sandness is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.

Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Work on Sandness has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast.

Church halls and community buildings, such as those at St Margaret's Kirk and Graveyard, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. Washrooms near Sandness get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.
