How we handle washroom sealing in Skirling
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and urinal joints that look unhygienic. Whoever orders the work in Skirling, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Skirling, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Around smaller places like Skirling, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building near Skirling, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Questions we are asked in Skirling
Is Skirling off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kello Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Surface by surface
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Resealing early protects the unit.

Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Common problems we fix in Skirling
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.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Panel joints letting water behind
Office toilets at parks like Biggar Business Park, 2.7 miles to the south-west of Skirling, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
