Questions about Steinis
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Western Isles Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you work on the island where Steinis is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Steinis included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Steinis
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins, and what we are called in for most is gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Steinis first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Steinis, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant typically can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.

What else we do in Steinis
Why act early in Steinis
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Around smaller places like Steinis, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs near Steinis are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Sanitary sealant for Steinis buildings
With the shore within about 1 mile, Steinis counts as a coastal location, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Being on an island, Steinis means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Send photographs of each washroom and how many there are, so the visit is planned properly.
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Parkend Industrial Estate (to the south of Steinis) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard. At a hospital like Western Isles Hospital (1.3 miles west of Steinis), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
Steinis is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Commercial clients in Steinis can call on us for washrooms and wet areas. We work across 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar, large and small.
Commercial sites across HS2 are covered for washrooms and wet areas. If your building is just outside Steinis, we cover Plasterfield (1 mile south-west), Sandwick (1 mile south), Sanndabhaig (1 mile south), Stornoway (1 mile west) and Branahuie (1 mile south-east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you ring 01277 525 020 or email us.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
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.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. You can also send details through our quote form.
