Wilton Dean: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hawick Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can work in a care setting near Wilton Dean go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
Common problems we fix in Wilton Dean
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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
At a hotel such as Balcary House Hotel, which lies south-east of Wilton Dean, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The named product and why it was chosen
Washroom sealing around Wilton Dean: points for this area
Wilton Dean is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Wilton Dean. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Old Parish Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Hawick Community Hospital, under half a mile to the east of Wilton Dean, need cleanable, sound silicone.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
