Tomintoul: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Tomintoul outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Which documents can you supply for work in Tomintoul?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Normally not. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Washroom sealing in Tomintoul, done properly
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. If you have stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Tomintoul, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Tomintoul, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community 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. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

When to call us in Tomintoul
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
Washrooms near Tomintoul get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.
Before you book anyone
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Proof of insurance
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.

Why act early in Tomintoul
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Tomintoul, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Tomintoul
Being in the east of Scotland, Tomintoul gets less rain than the west coast. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
