Washroom sealing for Uig sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Uig. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Washroom sealing in Uig, done properly
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels so they get particular attention. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant lifting along a tray edge and users noticing mouldy joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Uig 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 Uig, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Why act early in Uig
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Around smaller places like Uig, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Questions about Uig
Is Uig too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will all the washrooms in our Uig building be closed at once?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in most cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so there are always rooms open.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Uig
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
En suites at hotels like Uig Hotel (0.5 miles south-east of Uig) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Keeping Uig washrooms open while we work
Uig sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Uig is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
At a school such as Uig Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of Scotland, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
