Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

Washroom sealing in Skeabrae
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. The enquiries we see most involve mould spotting along silicone joints and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Skeabrae first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Skeabrae is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Around smaller places like Skeabrae, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

FAQs: Skeabrae
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Skeabrae?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will the toilets in our Skeabrae building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Work for main contractors and building owners
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.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need washroom sealing in Skeabrae?
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
Around Skeabrae, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.

Commercial washrooms in Skeabrae
Skeabrae sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being on an island, Skeabrae means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. A room count and photographs of each washroom help us bring enough sealant and plan the days.
For a hotel such as Smithfield Hotel, 1.2 miles to the east of Skeabrae, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
