About our washroom sealing in Far Thorpe Green
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. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are urinal joints that look unhygienic and sealant lifting along a tray edge. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Far Thorpe Green first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Halls and community buildings near places like Far Thorpe Green are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Far Thorpe Green
With the shore within about 3 miles, Far Thorpe Green counts as a coastal location, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Far Thorpe Green. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
For a school such as Rolph CofE Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. En suites at hotels like The Bell Hotel, 1.1 miles to the east of Far Thorpe Green, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Rice Bridge Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles south-east of Far Thorpe Green, have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surface by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Questions about Far Thorpe Green
Will our hotel in Far Thorpe Green need to close for the work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Will the toilets in our Far Thorpe Green building be out of use?
Normally only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is Far Thorpe Green in your area?
Yes. Sites across Far Thorpe Green are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. For buildings around smaller places like Far Thorpe Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
