Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below, and we’ll say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
About our washroom sealing in Southerness
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If you are dealing with stained sealant around pans and urinals and a new bead over an old one coming away, we can help, on IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Southerness, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Southerness, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Southerness: questions and answers
Will the toilets in our Southerness building be out of use?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Is Southerness too small for you to travel to?
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Typically not. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Southerness. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

What affects the price in Southerness
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any specification or named product

What we’re called out for in Southerness
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: 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.
Look out for the following:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
Washrooms near Southerness get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.

Washroom sealing in Southerness: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Southerness counts as a coastal location, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Being in the east of Scotland, Southerness gets less rain than the west coast. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
At a hotel such as Paul Jones Hotel (less than half a mile south of Southerness), the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
Southerness is about 13 miles south of Dumfries, in Dumfries and Galloway.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
