What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and your cleaning team stops chasing it. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Coldharbour takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

How we handle washroom sealing in Coldharbour
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. The enquiries we see most involve sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and sealant lifting along a tray edge, across vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Coldharbour it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Restaurants, cafés and hotel kitchens across London have joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding that need to stay smooth and cleanable. Hygienic and anti-mould sanitary sealants are used where they suit, with food-safe products where food contact is possible.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Washroom sealing around Coldharbour: how the place shapes the job

The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. Coldharbour has 18 care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Coldharbour
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Look out for the following:
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
At a hospital like Eltham Community Hospital, 1.2 miles to the north of Coldharbour, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Coldharbour can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space
