About our washroom sealing in America Ground
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. Most enquiries involve failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and urinal joints that look unhygienic, across vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in America Ground, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around America Ground, washroom work normally comes one building at a time. A list and photographs let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What else we do in America Ground
What we’re called out for in America Ground
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
Office toilets at parks like York Road Business Centre, 1.2 miles to the north-west of America Ground, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
What to look for in a quote

What the job involves on each surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below, and we will say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing, and any we come across will be pointed out.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Sanitary sealant for America Ground buildings
America Ground is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. The area within 2 miles of America Ground holds plenty of hotels. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Conquest Hospital, 2.1 miles north of America Ground, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules. For centre management at a site such as Priory Meadow Shopping Centre (less than half a mile north-east of America Ground), washroom work is planned around footfall.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Common questions from America Ground clients
Is a smaller place like America Ground outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Conquest Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
