Washroom sealing in Staxigoe
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. Most enquiries involve split or peeling sealant at shower trays and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels, on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Staxigoe it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Staxigoe is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Questions we are asked in Staxigoe
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Caithness General Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Must a hotel around Staxigoe close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why act early in Staxigoe
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Around smaller places like Staxigoe, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

General trades versus a specialist
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. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Common problems we fix in Staxigoe
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Look out for the following:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
At a school such as Wick High School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Staxigoe
With the shore within about 1 mile, Staxigoe counts as a coastal location, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Staxigoe is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Office washrooms on sites such as Lochshell Business Park (to the west of Staxigoe) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open. En suites at hotels like Nethercliffe Hotel, 1.5 miles south-west of Staxigoe, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
