Washroom sealing in Yorkhill
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What affects the price in Yorkhill
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
About our washroom sealing in Yorkhill
In a commercial washroom, sealant is normally the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. The enquiries we see most involve complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, across urinals and WCs, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Yorkhill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates have washrooms and wet areas in nearly every building. Phased resealing, agreed with the estates or facilities team, keeps buildings working.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Why it’s worth doing now in Yorkhill
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. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.

Questions about Yorkhill
Can work in a care setting near Yorkhill go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do hotels near Yorkhill have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
