How the job changes by surface
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’ll plan around them.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Strichen
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. Site teams most often ask us about stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, on urinals and WCs, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Strichen tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near Strichen are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- 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
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Common questions from Strichen clients
Is Strichen too far out for you?
No. Places such as Strichen are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Maud Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you need washroom sealing in Strichen?
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as All Saints' Episcopal Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

Why act early in Strichen
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant even when the room is otherwise spotless. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Busy facilities in and around Strichen
Strichen is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Maud Hospital (4.9 miles south of Strichen) need cleanable, sound silicone.
