Common questions from Enslow clients
Will the toilets in our Enslow building be out of use?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is Enslow off your patch?
No. Places such as Enslow are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Washroom sealing in Enslow, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. The enquiries we see most involve black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins. Whoever orders the work in Enslow, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Enslow, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Sealant that has gone black with mould usually can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Enslow. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
Signs you need washroom sealing in Enslow
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor at skirting lines, urinal bases and around pans.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
At a school such as Bletchingdon Parochial Church of England Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.

Sanitary sealant for Enslow buildings
Enslow has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. Enslow is about 57 miles from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
Office washrooms on sites such as Oxford Spires Business Park, 1.9 miles to the south of Enslow, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of Holy Cross, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.

What else we do in Enslow
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
