Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Burghfield
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. Site teams most often ask us about gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, on vanity units and basins, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Burghfield it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller places such as Burghfield still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Work we carry out in West Berkshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
Common questions from Burghfield clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Battle Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Must a hotel around Burghfield close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so there are always rooms open.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.

Surface by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Assisted bathrooms and accessible toilets get heavy use so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Resealing early protects the unit.
