Washroom sealing in West Berkshire: how it works

Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. The enquiries we see most involve washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs.

Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

  1. We agree which washrooms close and when.
  2. Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
  3. Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
  4. The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
  5. We confirm reopening times for each washroom.

Around Newbury

We work on buildings around St Nicolas Church, Victoria Park and St Bartholomew's School and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include The Diamond Tap (less than half a mile north-east), St Nicolas C.E. Junior School (under half a mile south) and St Bartholomew's School (0.6 miles south-west). Newbury has its own railway station: Newbury station. A little further out are Donnington Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles east). Not far away are Audrey's Meadow.

Commercial washrooms across West Berkshire

Across West Berkshire, washrooms and wet areas in schools, hotels, offices, leisure and care buildings all need sound sanitary sealant. We replace tired sealant with anti-mould sanitary silicone, area by area.

The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in West Berkshire still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up.

Newbury: Clinical washrooms at sites like West Berkshire Community Hospital, 1.5 miles to the east of Newbury, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. Customer toilets and staff facilities at retail sites such as Parkway Shopping Centre (to the north of Newbury) need sealant that stays clean under heavy use.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

For managing agents and facilities managers

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

What sealant work can’t fix

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
  • Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
  • Water from plumbing, not from a joint

Signs you need washroom sealing

Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. 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:

  • Mould spotting along silicone joints
  • Users noticing mouldy joints
  • Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
  • Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean

Aftercare for building managers

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

  • Leave signs up until the cure time is over
  • Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
  • Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
  • Clear standing water from shower floors where possible

Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.

A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.

Common questions from West Berkshire clients

Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?

Normally not. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.

Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?

The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.

Can washrooms stay open while you work?

Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.

Do you guarantee washroom sealing?

Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.

Is colour matching possible?

That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

Is any job too small?

We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.

What will the job cost?

That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
