Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life over time.
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.
Washroom sealing in Enfield Island Village
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. If you’re dealing with a new bead over an old one coming away and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, we can put it right, on vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Enfield Island Village it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Many London buildings can’t close every toilet at once. We work through washrooms floor by floor or core by core, at times agreed with you, so staff and visitors can always find an open washroom.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Enfield Island Village: questions and answers
Will our hotel in Enfield Island Village need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you work in a care home near Enfield Island Village with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Does the weather affect the work?
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Enfield Island Village

When to call us in Enfield Island Village
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
Office toilets at parks like Waterways Business Centre (under half a mile south-west of Enfield Island Village) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
What to look for in a quote
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Washroom sealing around Enfield Island Village: what changes locally
The 2 miles around Enfield Island Village include three care or nursing homes. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home. A 2-mile radius around Enfield Island Village takes in several hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.

Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Ss Peter and Paul Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Enfield Island Village can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open

What affects the price in Enfield Island Village
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
