How a job runs
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Washroom sealing in Barnet, done properly
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, 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. If you have sealant stained black around basins and showers and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Barnet? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In Barnet, as across London, commercial kitchens and washrooms need sealed joints that can be cleaned properly. Hygienic and anti-mould sanitary sealants are used where they suit, with food-safe products where food contact is possible.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When to bring in a specialist
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. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Keeping Barnet washrooms open while we work
There are seven care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Barnet. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Work is agreed with the manager, around residents’ routines. London offices and hotels normally can’t close all their washrooms at once, so resealing goes floor by floor, agreed with the facilities team.
For a college such as Oak Hill College, 1.8 miles to the east of Barnet, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Barnet Hospital (to the west of Barnet) need cleanable, sound silicone. Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Hadley Manor Trading Estate (0.7 miles north-west of Barnet) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.

What else we do in Barnet
FAQs: Barnet
Can you work on a hospital site such as Barnet Hospital?
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.
Will our hotel in Barnet need to close for the work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so there are always rooms open.
Commercial clients in Barnet
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Why it’s worth doing now in Barnet
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
