Common questions from Fencott clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Bicester Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Fencott for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How we handle washroom sealing in Fencott
In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we’re called in for most is stained sealant around pans and urinals and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Fencott it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls and community buildings near places like Fencott 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fencott
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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Fencott, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Fencott
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Bicester Community Hospital (to the north of Fencott) need cleanable, sound silicone.
