About our commercial sealant in Scalloway
In a hotel, office or washroom, failed sealant is more than an eyesore. Cleaners struggle with it, water gets through it and people notice it. We reseal bathrooms, washrooms, welfare areas and kitchens so they look cared for again. Typical jobs include rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants and worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained, across student & care accommodation, retail & leisure sites and office washrooms & kitchens.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Scalloway
What guarantee comes with commercial sealant in Scalloway?
All our work, in Scalloway and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Scalloway within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Scalloway.
Commercial buildings in Scalloway
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Scalloway, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
Community buildings like Methodist Church are part of the picture too: halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites, depending on how much there is to do. Outdoor work around Scalloway depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we will plan the programme.
- We go through your site’s paperwork needs, such as RAMS, before work begins.
- In each room, the old bead comes out and the joint is cleaned and treated.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealant elsewhere.
- Each finished area is checked with you and given a cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Other services in Scalloway
Landlord and commercial work in Scalloway
Landlords and agents in Scalloway can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Room by room, the work is quick: it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms. After that, each area needs its cure time before use, so the programme is planned around cure times. Around Scalloway, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Do not leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Check extract fans are actually running
Include sealant in routine room inspections. Checking joints alongside other room checks catches failures before they leak.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. The longer it’s left, the deeper it grows into the silicone, and only replacement fixes it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Student & care accommodation
Vacant rooms make resealing quick and simple.

A sound seal protects the property as well as its appearance.
Do you need commercial sealant in Scalloway?
Internal washrooms and en suites without a window rely entirely on extraction, so if the fan is weak, steam lingers and the sealant stays damp. Mould then takes hold in the silicone.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Whole floors of tired en suites
- Mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice
In and around Scalloway, as anywhere, good commercial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether VAT is included
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
- Assessing what fire stopping a building needs
- Poor ventilation that keeps bringing mould back
