Washroom sealing in Arborfield Garrison
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant behind washroom basins and urinal joints that look unhygienic, on kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Arborfield Garrison, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
A place of Arborfield Garrison’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Commercial washrooms in Arborfield Garrison
Arborfield Garrison is about 36 miles from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
At a school such as Bohunt School Wokingham, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. Halls linked to places like St Eligius host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

Questions we are asked in Arborfield Garrison
Is Arborfield Garrison too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Wokingham Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Why it’s worth doing now in Arborfield Garrison
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and your cleaning team stops chasing it. In a smaller place such as Arborfield Garrison, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Arborfield Garrison
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Clinical washrooms at sites like Wokingham Hospital, 3 miles to the north-east of Arborfield Garrison, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
