About our washroom sealing in Braughing
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. If you are dealing with gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and sealant lifting along a tray edge, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Braughing? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In and around smaller places like Braughing, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Busy facilities in and around Braughing
Braughing lies roughly 29 miles out from central London. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
If you manage an office at a site such as Standon Business Park, 1.7 miles south of Braughing, the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time. Pupil toilets at schools like Jenyns First School and Nursery take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Braughing, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Braughing: questions and answers
Is Braughing off your patch?
No. Places such as Braughing are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which documents can you supply for work in Braughing?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. 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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
Surface by surface
Healthcare and care settings
We phase washroom sealing so care areas are never left without facilities. Records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Do you need washroom sealing in Braughing?
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Halls linked to places like Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Why it’s worth doing now in Braughing
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Around Braughing, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
