Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Templand
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints along basins and vanity units and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Templand tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller Scottish places like Templand, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Keeping Templand washrooms open while we work
Templand is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
In any commercial washroom in or near Templand, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.

Questions about Templand
Will the toilets in our Templand building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lochmaben Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Leave it or put it right?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Templand before they leak.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why clients in Templand choose us

When to call us in Templand
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
For a site such as Lochmaben Hospital, which lies south of Templand, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Templand. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
