FAQs: West Calder
Is a smaller place like West Calder outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can work at a site such as West Lothian College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
Sanitary sealant for West Calder buildings
The east of Scotland, where West Calder is, gets less rain than the west. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
At a college such as West Lothian College (3 miles north-east of West Calder), washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. Office washrooms on sites such as West Calder Business Centre (under half a mile south-west of West Calder) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.

Questions to ask before you book

- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
