Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Westruther, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Westruther
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. 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’ll plan around them. If you have users noticing mouldy joints and sealant lifting along a tray edge, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Westruther is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller Scottish places like Westruther, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Washroom sealing around Westruther: what changes locally
Westruther is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Old Parish Church and Churchyard, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

Why it’s worth doing now in Westruther
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Westruther. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.

What we are called out for in Westruther
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
At a hotel such as Thistle Inn Hotel (less than half a mile south-east of Westruther), the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.

FAQs: Westruther
Will all the washrooms in our Westruther building be closed at once?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Is Westruther too small for you to travel to?
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.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
