Washroom sealing in Bobbingworth, done properly
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a new bead over an old one coming away and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Bobbingworth? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Halls and community buildings near places like Bobbingworth are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
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 typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Questions about Bobbingworth
Must every washroom in our Bobbingworth building shut while you work?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Would you work within a site like St. Margaret's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St Germain, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Schools such as Moreton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.

Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Bobbingworth. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Bobbingworth need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.

Advice
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

What we’re called out for in Bobbingworth
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
En suites at hotels like Phoenix Epping Hotel (1.4 miles west of Bobbingworth) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
