Washroom sealing for Crockleford Heath sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Common problems we fix in Crockleford Heath
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
Schools such as Colchester Academy have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Crockleford Heath may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Crockleford Heath: questions and answers
Can you work in a care home near Crockleford Heath with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Colchester General Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Older rural buildings around Crockleford Heath move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs.
