About our washroom sealing in Bocking
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Most enquiries involve complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, across showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles. Searching for sealant specialists in Bocking? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
A place of Bocking’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Advice
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Keeping Bocking washrooms open while we work
At about 38 miles from central London, Bocking is within reach of the capital. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, so we phase work to keep some facilities open. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Bocking. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Springwood Industrial Estate (to the west of Bocking) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard. At a college such as Braintree College, 0.6 miles north-east of Bocking, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. Hotels such as The White Hart Hotel (to the south of Bocking) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Bocking is about 1 mile west of Braintree, in Essex. We cover Bocking and the rest of Essex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across Essex, 644 places are covered, including Bocking. For work in that direction, see our London page.
If you need washroom sealing in CM7, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Among the streets we cover are Clare Road, The Avenue and Mount Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Just outside Bocking, we also work in Braintree (1 mile east), Great Notley (2 miles south-west), Panfield (2 miles north-west), Rayne (2 miles west) and Row Green (2 miles south). Further afield, our area takes in Colchester (15 miles east), Chelmsford (10 miles south), Maldon (12 miles south-east), Witham (7 miles south-east), Camulodunum (14 miles east) and Halstead (5 miles north-east).
Around Bocking
We work on buildings around Horse And Groom Inn, Bocking Blackwater and Edith Borthwick School. The closest station to Bocking is Braintree station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include St Michael's Hospital (0.5 miles south-west) and Tudor House Museum (Braintree) (0.5 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Belcher's and Broadfield Woods.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions from Bocking clients
Can you work in a care home near Bocking with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Is Bocking off your patch?
No. Places such as Bocking are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
