Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Tingwall
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. If you are dealing with stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, we can put it right, on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. Most enquiries from Tingwall start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Tingwall, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Keeping Tingwall washrooms open while we work
Tingwall is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Island jobs, Tingwall among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Photos and a room list let us plan the visit around the crossings.
In any commercial washroom in or near Tingwall, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
Tingwall is about 8 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Across the KW17 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 51 places in the Orkney Islands, from busy centres to rural villages.
If you need washroom sealing in KW17, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your building is just outside Tingwall, we cover Gorseness (2 miles south-east), Isbister (3 miles south), Evie (3 miles north-west), Norseman (3 miles south-west) and Settiscarth (3 miles south-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Tingwall
How the job changes by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing and we will point out any we see.
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Tingwall, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
