Common questions from Abbey Gate clients
Is a hospital such as The Somerfield Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does a hotel in Abbey Gate need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.

Healthcare and care settings
Assisted bathrooms and accessible toilets get heavy use, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
Kitchens and tea points
We plan kitchen sealing around when the kitchen is in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What happens if it’s left?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells which costs more to fix than a reseal. For buildings around smaller places like Abbey Gate, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Signs you need washroom sealing in Abbey Gate
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Panel joints letting water behind
Units at estates like Viewpoint Industrial Estate (1.1 miles south-east of Abbey Gate) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.

- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
