Common questions from South Gyle clients
Do hotels near South Gyle have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in the majority of cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
About our washroom sealing in South Gyle
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. If you have stained sealant around pans and urinals and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, we can put it right, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in South Gyle from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Shops and offices at the foot of tenement blocks in Scottish cities often have compact staff washrooms and tea points. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first, so it’s worth resealing before it spreads.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in South Gyle
Why act early in South Gyle
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Failed sealant in a shared building in South Gyle can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Washroom sealing in South Gyle: the local picture
South Gyle sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. The area within 2 miles of South Gyle holds a good number of hotels. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Units at estates like South Gyle Trade Park, less than half a mile to the south of South Gyle, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. For a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus, which lies south-east of South Gyle, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. Colleges such as Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus (to the south-east of South Gyle) have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans

Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed and any permits the site uses.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
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.
