Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Deptford
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. We work on urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Deptford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Building managers in Deptford normally need some facilities open throughout. Washrooms are done core by core or floor by floor, with signage and a plan agreed beforehand.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant, and we will say so before resealing.
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. They are checked with everything else.

Common questions from Deptford clients
Must a hotel around Deptford close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Greenwich - Greenwich Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so facilities are never short.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Busy facilities in and around Deptford
The 2 miles around Deptford include four care or nursing homes. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible. A 2-mile radius around Deptford takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice.
Customer toilets in retail centres such as New Cross Gate Retail Park, 0.7 miles west of Deptford, rarely close, so resealing is phased. For an occupier at a site such as Brookmarsh Industrial Estate, less than half a mile east of Deptford, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

Do you need washroom sealing in Deptford?
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
At a university such as University of Greenwich - Greenwich Campus (0.9 miles east of Deptford), summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- 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.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Why deal with it now?
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. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
