Need washroom sealing in Elham?

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

On site: what to expect

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Elham need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
  2. You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
  3. Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
  4. Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
  5. A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
  6. Rooms reopen after the cure time.

Before we start on site

  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Let us know about inductions and permits

Washroom sealing in Elham, done properly

Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. 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 will plan around them. If you have panel joints letting water behind and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Elham from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Rural businesses near smaller places such as Elham, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.

We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Common problems we fix in Elham

We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.

It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:

  • Urinal joints that look unhygienic
  • Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
  • Panel joints letting water behind
  • A new bead over an old one coming away

For buildings on a site such as Barham Business Park, which lies north-east of Elham, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.

Before you book anyone

  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • The terms of the workmanship guarantee
  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?

How to choose a sealant contractor

Work for main contractors and building owners

Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Elham. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

What we can’t put right

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:

  • A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
  • Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
  • Vanity carcasses that have swollen

If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Urinals and WCs
  • Kitchens and tea points
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Vanity units and basins
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms

Questions about Elham

Will all the washrooms in our Elham building be closed at once?

Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.

Is Elham too small for you to travel to?

Not at all. Elham is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.

Do you need to see the site first?

Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.

Do you take on small jobs?

Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?

Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.

Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?

We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.

How the job changes by surface

Basins and vanity tops

Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.

Kitchens and tea points

In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.

Looking after the joints

Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:

  • Keep extract fans working and vents clear
  • Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
  • Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
  • Note failing joints building by building

Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.

A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.

Sanitary sealant for Elham buildings

Elham lies roughly 57 miles out from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.

At a hotel such as Abbot's Fireside Hotel, under half a mile north of Elham, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms. Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
