Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Saughtonhall is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Scottish city buildings, from student residences to hospitals and offices, are full of washrooms and wet areas. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Keeping Saughtonhall washrooms open while we work
Saughtonhall is within about 3 miles of the coast, 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, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Eight care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Saughtonhall. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
Student showers at universities like Edinburgh Napier University (to the south of Saughtonhall) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. Colleges such as Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus (to the south-west of Saughtonhall) have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.

What we’re called out for in Saughtonhall
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
At a hospital like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 0.6 miles to the west of Saughtonhall, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Why deal with it now?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

FAQs: Saughtonhall
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will our hotel in Saughtonhall need to close for the work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
