Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Panel systems meet walls, floors and vanity tops at sealed joints. They stop water reaching the panel boards.
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
Washroom sealing in De Beauvoir Town
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. If you’re dealing with open joints at the base of cubicle panels and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in De Beauvoir Town, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in De Beauvoir Town as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. In De Beauvoir Town, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
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 you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you need washroom sealing in De Beauvoir Town?
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
For centre management at a site such as Anchor Retail Park, 2 miles south-east of De Beauvoir Town, washroom work is planned around footfall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Wales Trinity Saint David London?

The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
