Keeping Yarrowford washrooms open while we work
Yarrowford is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
In any commercial washroom in or near Yarrowford, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
Yarrowford is about 7 miles south-west of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. We cover Yarrowford, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

Washroom sealing in Yarrowford
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. If you are dealing with shower tray joints that have opened up and urinal joints that look unhygienic, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Yarrowford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For washroom work around Yarrowford, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us.

Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Yarrowford. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- 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.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.

What affects the price in Yarrowford
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Yarrowford. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.
What we’re called out for in Yarrowford
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
Phased work lets washrooms in and around Yarrowford stay partly open while sealant is renewed.
What to look for in a quote
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Common questions from Yarrowford clients
Must every washroom in our Yarrowford building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Is Yarrowford off your patch?
No. Places such as Yarrowford are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
