How we handle washroom sealing in Stor

Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. If you’re dealing with open joints at the base of cubicle panels and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Stor, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

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 the quote explains what it covers.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stor

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. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Stor, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Washroom sealing around Stor: how the place shapes the job

With the shore within about 1 mile, Stor counts as a coastal location, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. The west of Scotland, where Stor is, gets more rain than the east. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.

Phased work lets washrooms in and around Stor stay partly open while sealant is renewed.

Stor (Gaelic: Stoer) is in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Stor can call on us for washrooms and wet areas. Stor is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for washrooms and wet areas.

Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout IV27. Close to Stor, our area also takes in Stoer (1 mile south-west), Lochinver (5 miles south-east), An Druim Beag (5 miles north-east), Scourie More (11 miles north-east) and Scourie (12 miles north-east). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:

  • A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
  • Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
  • Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed

If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Kitchens and tea points
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Urinals and WCs
  • Vanity units and basins
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms

How the quote is worked out

The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:

  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • Distance, for remote addresses

No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Before you send an enquiry

A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:

  • The product your specification calls for
  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • Clear photos of the problem areas

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.

On site: what to expect

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs near Stor are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.

  1. Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
  2. A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
  3. Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
  4. Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
  5. New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.

Preparing the site

  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
  • Flag any permit to work we will need

Request a quote

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Related advice

Different surfaces, different methods

Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints

Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.

Changing rooms and gyms

We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

Common problems we fix in Stor

Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.

Typical triggers for a call:

  • Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
  • Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
  • Shower tray joints that have opened up
  • Stained sealant around pans and urinals

Around Stor, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
