Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Saughton
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. If you’re dealing with gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Saughton from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

Saughton: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Does a hotel in Saughton need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Common problems we fix in Saughton
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
For a site such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 1 mile to the north of Saughton, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
