About our washroom sealing in Abinger Common
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The growth is inside the sealant, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. Site teams most often ask us about kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, across IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs. Searching for sealant specialists in Abinger Common? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Halls and community buildings near places like Abinger Common are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common problems we fix in Abinger Common
Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet at skirting lines, urinal bases and around pans.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St James, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

Quoting for work in Abinger Common
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.

How the job changes by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant, and we survey them together.
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Resealing early protects the unit.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Abinger Common are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.

FAQs: Abinger Common
Is Abinger Common too far out for you?
Not at all. Abinger Common is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Abinger Common for resealing?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually 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.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
