Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Silvermills
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Silvermills tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Silvermills
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
Office washrooms on sites such as Beaverbank Business Park, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Silvermills, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their public liability cover

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Why deal with it now?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- CSCS-carded applicators
Take a look at our cost guide or our accreditations and insurance.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Your questions answered
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Edinburgh - Lauriston Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Does a hotel in Silvermills need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The plan is built around your bookings.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Silvermills, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Silvermills is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Toilets at colleges like Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh, under half a mile south-east of Silvermills, take heavy use from students and staff alike. In a centre such as Waverley Mall (0.6 miles south-east of Silvermills), public washrooms are resealed a block of facilities at a time.
