Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists

How we handle washroom sealing in Dulwich Village
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. We work on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are urinal joints that look unhygienic and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dulwich Village tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Many London buildings can’t close every toilet at once. Washrooms are done core by core or floor by floor, with signage and a plan agreed beforehand, so staff and visitors can always find an open washroom.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What we are called out for in Dulwich Village
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Colleges such as William Booth College, 1.2 miles north of Dulwich Village, have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.

Dulwich Village: questions and answers
Can work at a site such as King's College London fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Washroom sealing in Dulwich Village: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around Dulwich Village takes in a good number of hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest. London offices and hotels typically can’t close all their washrooms at once, so we phase the work core by core or floor by floor with the building manager.
Toilets at places like Cantium Retail Park, 2.5 miles north of Dulwich Village, are cleaned constantly, so silicone needs to be sound and smooth. Units at estates like Goose Green Trading Estate, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Dulwich Village, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
