What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Washroom sealing in Barnehurst
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. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, showers, trays and wet room floors and vanity units and basins, and the failures we are asked to look at most are panel joints letting water behind and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Barnehurst, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In Barnehurst, as across London, commercial kitchens and washrooms need sealed joints that can be cleaned properly. We use sanitary and hygienic sealants, choosing food-safe products where food may touch the surface.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out any areas we must not close

FAQs: Barnehurst
Is a hospital such as Erith and District Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can work at a site such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Barnehurst
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
At a hospital like Erith and District Hospital (1.1 miles north of Barnehurst), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant, and we survey them together.
Why act early in Barnehurst
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed for now. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
