Washroom sealing across Wester Hailes
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
How we handle washroom sealing in Wester Hailes
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mould spotting along silicone joints and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Wester Hailes? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Scottish city buildings, from student residences to hospitals and offices, are full of washrooms and wet areas. Phased resealing, agreed with the estates or facilities team, keeps buildings working.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common questions from Wester Hailes clients
Can work in a care setting near Wester Hailes go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Would you work within a site like Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, 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 do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Common problems we fix in Wester Hailes
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
For a store at a site such as Westside Plaza Shopping Centre, under half a mile to the south-west of Wester Hailes, the staff room and customer toilets can be resealed in quiet periods.

- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Different surfaces, different methods
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms in gyms and leisure centres stay wet and warm so sealant there works very hard. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen work can be phased around service. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
