Common problems we fix in Stronord
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
Look out for the following:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
Around Stronord, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Washroom sealing in Stronord, done properly
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. If you have urinal joints that look unhygienic and mould spotting along silicone joints, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Stronord tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For washroom work around Stronord, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
Healthcare and care settings
We phase washroom sealing so care areas are never left without facilities. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours which costs more to fix than a reseal. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Stronord. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Keeping Stronord washrooms open while we work
Stronord lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being in the west of Scotland, Stronord gets more rain than eastern areas. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
For a site such as Newton Stuart Hospital, 2.9 miles west of Stronord, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
Stronord is about 25 miles east of Stranraer, in Dumfries and Galloway. Anywhere in DG8, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 139 places across Dumfries and Galloway fall within our area, including Stronord. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout DG8, for business premises of every kind. We also cover Palnure (1 mile south), Newton Stewart (3 miles west), Minnigaff (3 miles north-west), Creetown (4 miles south-east) and Penninghame (5 miles north-west) for washrooms and wet areas.

A little further out are Muirfad Castle (0.9 miles south-east) and Newton Stewart Hospital (2.9 miles west). Not far away are Larg Hill and Glenamour Loch.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Stronord. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Stronord outside your area?
Not at all. Stronord is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Stronord for resealing?
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.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Stronord. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
