Washroom sealing in Chapel Row
In a commercial washroom, sealant is normally the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Chapel Row, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls and community buildings near places like Chapel Row 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Washroom sealing in Chapel Row: the local picture
Chapel Row lies roughly 47 miles out from central London. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
For a school such as Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Douai Abbey Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. For buildings on a site such as Fronds Park Business Park, which lies south-east of Chapel Row, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Converted and older buildings near places like Chapel Row tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Advice
Questions we are asked in Chapel Row
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will all the washrooms in our Chapel Row building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
