Keeping Upper Coll washrooms open while we work
Upper Coll is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Upper Coll is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.
Around Upper Coll, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
Upper Coll (Gaelic: Col Uarach) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We send applicators to Upper Coll for washrooms and wet areas. Upper Coll is one of 87 places we cover in Na h-Eileanan Siar for washrooms and wet areas.
Business premises anywhere in HS2 are within our area. If your building is just outside Upper Coll, we cover Aird Tong (1 mile south), Tong (1 mile south-west), Bac (2 miles north-east), Newmarket (3 miles south-west) and Steinis (3 miles south). 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.

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Upper Coll
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The growth is inside the sealant, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. If you are dealing with black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, we can put it right, on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Upper Coll tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Upper Coll, 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.

Common questions from Upper Coll clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Western Isles Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you work on the island where Upper Coll is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Upper Coll included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
We phase it so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Upper Coll
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Upper Coll can form part of a wider programme.
Surface by surface
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen work can be phased around service. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Jobs near Upper Coll are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Getting the site ready

- Flag any permit to work we will need

Other services in Upper Coll
Do you need washroom sealing in Upper Coll?
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
At a hospital like Western Isles Hospital, 3 miles to the south-west of Upper Coll, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
