Washroom sealing in Temple
In a commercial washroom, sealant is normally the first thing to wear out. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning 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. We work on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and shower tray joints that have opened up. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Temple first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Shops and offices at the foot of tenement blocks in Scottish cities often have compact staff washrooms and tea points. Compact, poorly ventilated rooms are hard on sealant, so it’s worth resealing before it spreads.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What we are called out for in Temple
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Customer toilets in retail centres such as Knightswood Shopping Centre, 1.4 miles west of Temple, rarely close, so resealing is phased.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Who will actually carry out the work
Commercial clients in Temple
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Temple can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. City jobs in Temple usually need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Quoting for work in Temple
To price the job, we consider:

Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
