Westhill: questions and answers
Is Westhill 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.
Would you work within a site like Woodend Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so there are always rooms open.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Westhill
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with shower tray joints that have opened up and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can help, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and kitchens and tea points alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Westhill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller Scottish places like Westhill, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant normally can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building near Westhill, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- 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.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Common problems we fix in Westhill
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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
At a hospital like Woodend Hospital, which lies east of Westhill, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
Before you book anyone
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first and we flag that beforehand.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Wet areas in Westhill’s workplaces
Being in the east of Scotland, Westhill gets less rain than the west coast. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant. Westhill has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Westhill Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles south-east of Westhill, have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard. At a school such as Westhill Academy, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
