About our washroom sealing in St Leonard's
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and shower tray joints that have opened up. Whoever orders the work in St Leonard's, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Wet areas in St Leonard's’s workplaces
St Leonard's sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. There are six care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of St Leonard's. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Work is agreed with the manager, around residents’ routines.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around St Leonard's. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. 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 inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Questions about St Leonard's
Can work at a site such as University of Edinburgh fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can work in a care setting near St Leonard's go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
