Washroom sealing across Slough: what to expect

In a commercial washroom, sealant is typically the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and open joints at the base of cubicle panels.

We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.

  1. Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
  2. A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
  3. The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
  4. Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
  5. We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
  6. Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.

Commercial washrooms across Slough

From Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell to smaller places, Slough has commercial washrooms in offices, schools, hotels, gyms and healthcare buildings. We replace tired sealant with anti-mould sanitary silicone, area by area.

We work across Greater London and the South East counties, and every job in Slough starts with access, parking and site rules.

Slough: Toilets at colleges like Windsor College (to the south of Slough) take heavy use from students and staff alike. At a hotel such as Copthorne Hotel Slough - Windsor, which lies south-west of Slough, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas

The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:

  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • Distance, for remote addresses
  • How much there is to seal
  • Working within restricted access windows

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Sending details for a quote

A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:

  • The postcode of the building
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • 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 give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.

Why it fails

Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Sealant stained black around basins and showers
  • Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
  • Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
  • Users noticing mouldy joints

Aftercare for building managers

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:

  • Inspect washroom sealant regularly
  • Share your site rules when you send details
  • Respect the cure time before reopening each room
  • Act on the first split you see at a shower tray

Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.

In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.

Surface by surface

IPS and cubicle panels

Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.

Kitchens and tea points

Staff kitchens and tea points have joints at worktops, sinks and splashbacks. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.

What happens if it’s left?

Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean.

Questions we’re asked in Slough

What do you charge?

Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?

Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?

Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

How long before the toilets can reopen?

The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. We plan the phasing around that so there are always rooms open.

Is any job too small?
