How we handle washroom sealing in St Mary's
From one staff toilet in St Mary's to washrooms across a whole estate, the route is the same: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. A few photographs and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. If you have open joints along basins and vanity units and a new bead over an old one coming away, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in St Mary's tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For washroom work around St Mary's, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Send photographs and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed as well as site permits.
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.
Washroom sealing in St Mary's: the local picture
St Mary's sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Work on St Mary's has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. A room count and photographs of each washroom help us bring enough sealant and plan the days.
In any commercial washroom in or near St Mary's, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints. At a hospital like Balfour Hospital, 5.8 miles north of St Mary's, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
St Mary's is about 6 miles south of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We send applicators to St Mary's for washrooms and wet areas. Our the Orkney Islands coverage takes in 51 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs near St Mary's are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed while bigger works are planned. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around St Mary's before they leak.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
St Mary's: questions and answers
Can you take on a job in St Mary's, on the island?
Yes, St Mary's is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Balfour Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
