FAQs: Farnham
Can work at a site such as Arthur Findlay College fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can work in a care setting near Farnham go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Washroom sealing in Farnham: the local picture
Farnham lies roughly 30 miles out from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Farnham. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
Colleges such as Arthur Findlay College, 2.9 miles east of Farnham, have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates. On an industrial estate such as Birchanger Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Farnham, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
Quoting for work in Farnham
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Converted and older buildings near places like Farnham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.

- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Farnham
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
Pupil toilets at schools like Farnham Church of England Primary School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
