How we handle washroom sealing in Abberton
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have shower tray joints that have opened up and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can help, on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Abberton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Abberton, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we will plan around them.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Owners, agents and contractors
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.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Abberton. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Abberton can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. Older rural buildings around Abberton move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Common problems we fix in Abberton

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Essex, 3.3 miles to the north-east of Abberton, are easiest to reseal during vacations.

Abberton: questions and answers
Is Abberton too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Essex?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
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 will set out a timescale with the quote.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Washroom sealing around Abberton: how the place shapes the job
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Abberton, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. At about 49 miles from central London, Abberton is within reach of the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.
For a hall at a building such as Church of St Andrew, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. For buildings on a site such as Wivenhoe Business Centre, which lies north-east of Abberton, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.

Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
