What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Panel systems meet walls, floors and vanity tops at sealed joints. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Resealing early protects the unit.
Common questions from Cowley clients
Must a hotel around Cowley close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Can work at a site such as Oxford Brookes University fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
General trades versus a specialist
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
