Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Westmuir is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Washroom sealing in Westmuir, done properly
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. The enquiries we see most involve users noticing mouldy joints and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Westmuir is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like Westmuir, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Washroom sealing in Westmuir: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around Westmuir takes in several hotels. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. Being in the east of Scotland, Westmuir gets less rain than the west coast. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
On an industrial estate such as Muirhead Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the east of Westmuir, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear. Hotels such as Airlie Arms Hotel, 1.4 miles to the north-east of Westmuir, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Westmuir is about 6 miles west of Forfar, in Angus. Westmuir sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across Angus, 65 places are covered, Westmuir among them. Dundee is covered too, some 13 miles away.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Panel boards already damaged by water
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Common questions from Westmuir clients
Do hotels near Westmuir have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Westmuir for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in most cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Westmuir can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
A panel that has already swollen won’t be fixed by sealant and we’ll point out any we see.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
