Washroom sealing for Viewhill sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Viewhill. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

About our washroom sealing in Viewhill
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. Most enquiries involve mould spotting along silicone joints and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, on vanity units and basins, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Most enquiries from Viewhill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Viewhill tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
Washroom sealing in Viewhill: the local picture
With the shore within about 3 miles, Viewhill counts as a coastal location, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Viewhill. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
At a college such as Inverness College UHI, which lies west of Viewhill, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. At a university such as University of the Highlands and Islands (4.6 miles west of Viewhill), summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.

Do you need washroom sealing in Viewhill?
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Raigmore Hospital (to the west of Viewhill) need cleanable, sound silicone.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

FAQs: Viewhill
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of the Highlands and Islands?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Viewhill too far out for you?
Not at all. Viewhill is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in the majority of cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. They are checked with everything else.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath, and we’ll say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
