Washroom sealing in City of London: how it works
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. The enquiries we see most involve panel joints letting water behind and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, across urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins.
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.

Washroom sealing across City of London: the area picture
Restaurants, cafés and commercial kitchens in places such as Smithfield, Barbican Estate and Bishopsgate need smooth, cleanable joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding. Sanitary and hygienic sealants go in, food-safe where food could come into contact with it.
All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and much of the South East is within easy reach of the capital, so jobs in City of London are planned with access, loading and parking in mind.
City of London: For a campus such as Queen Mary's University West Smithfield Campus, under half a mile to the north-west of City of London, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. Office toilets at parks like Southwark Bridge Business Centre (to the south of City of London) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
Surface by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing and we’ll point out any we see.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
What affects the price in City of London
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Why it fails
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
FAQs: City of London
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you cover City of London?
Yes. We take on work across City of London, and the same phone number covers every area.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
