Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Fernhill
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. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. Site teams most often ask us about failed sealant behind washroom basins and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Fernhill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Community buildings around smaller places like Fernhill have kitchens and toilets used by many people. 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and make the room look neglected.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Fernhill are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.

Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. Central London is about 24 miles from Fernhill, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
On a healthcare site such as Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private), 2.1 miles to the west of Fernhill, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. If you manage an office at a site such as Maple Business Park, which lies east of Fernhill, the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time.

Common questions from Fernhill clients
Is a hospital such as Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private) somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does a hotel in Fernhill need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so there are always rooms open.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What we are called out for in Fernhill
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
For centre management at a site such as County Oak Retail Park, which lies south-west of Fernhill, washroom work is planned around footfall.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
