What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Chickney
At about 33 miles from central London, Chickney is within reach of the capital, within the office belt around the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, which is why the work is phased.
Office toilets at parks like Williams Field Business Centre (0.7 miles south-west of Chickney) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows. For a hall at a building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.
Chickney is about 4 miles north-west of Great Dunmow, in Essex. Chickney sits inside our coverage and the rest of Essex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Note failing joints building by building
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Different surfaces, different methods
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked so the bead needs to cope with it. Loose panels are flagged before any sealant goes on.
Healthcare and care settings
We phase washroom sealing so care areas are never left without facilities. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building around Chickney, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits

FAQs: Chickney
Is Chickney too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Chickney are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will the toilets in our Chickney building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
