About our washroom sealing in Chignall Smealy
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If you have complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Chignall Smealy, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls and community buildings near places like Chignall Smealy are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
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.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Broomfield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Anglia Ruskin University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, 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.
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.

When to call us in Chignall Smealy
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
For a school such as Newlands Spring Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Surface by surface
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
