About our washroom sealing in Charvil
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are panel joints letting water behind and shower tray joints that have opened up. Most enquiries from Charvil start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
A place of Charvil’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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:

- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Charvil
Signs you need washroom sealing in Charvil
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
For a hotel such as The Great House Hotel (1.2 miles west of Charvil), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Comparing quotes
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Proof of insurance
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a job in Charvil, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Surface by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
FAQs: Charvil
Is Charvil off your patch?
No. Places such as Charvil are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Reading for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Sanitary sealant for Charvil buildings

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
