Keeping Ardleigh Heath washrooms open while we work

The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Office toilets at parks like Blue Barns Business Park (1.3 miles west of Ardleigh Heath) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows. At a university such as University of Essex, which lies south of Ardleigh Heath, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Ardleigh Heath
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. 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. If you are dealing with mould spotting along silicone joints and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, we can help, on showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles alike. Most enquiries from Ardleigh Heath start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Community buildings around smaller places like Ardleigh Heath have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Questions we are asked in Ardleigh Heath
Would you work within a site like Colchester Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Ardleigh Heath outside your area?
Not at all. Ardleigh Heath is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Ardleigh Heath
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
For a hall at a building such as Church of St Mary, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
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. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Stained or split joints here trap smells and make the room look neglected.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
