About our washroom sealing in Emmington
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we’re called in for most is mould spotting along silicone joints and stained sealant around pans and urinals. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Emmington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Smaller places such as Emmington still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life over time.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Quoting for work in Emmington
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
- How accessible the joints are
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
What we’re called out for in Emmington
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
Units at estates like Bandet Way Industrial Estate (2 miles north-west of Emmington) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.
Before you book anyone
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Emmington

FAQs: Emmington
Is Emmington too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Thame Community 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 long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
We phase it so there are always facilities open. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.
