About our washroom sealing in Ashwell
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 open joints along basins and vanity units and stained sealant around pans and urinals, we can help, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Ashwell it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

Church halls and community buildings, such as those at St Mary's Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Fairfield Hospital, 4.8 miles south-west of Ashwell, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. For buildings in places like Ashwell, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Advice
Commercial clients in Ashwell
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
Common problems we fix in Ashwell
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
Pupil toilets at schools like Ashwell Primary School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.
What to look for in a quote
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Common questions from Ashwell clients
Would you work within a site like Fairfield Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Ashwell too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in most cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
