Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Stichill
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 mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. If you have resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Stichill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Commercial clients in Stichill
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
When to call us in Stichill
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and sealant joints trap all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
For a school such as Kelso High School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Why it’s worth doing now in Stichill
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant even when the room is otherwise spotless. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. For buildings near Stichill, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.

Stichill: questions and answers
Will all the washrooms in our Stichill building be closed at once?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Is Stichill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply

What else we do in Stichill
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work 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. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Stichill. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open
