Advice
Washroom sealing in Five Ashes, done properly
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels so they get particular attention. We work on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are shower tray joints that have opened up and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Five Ashes from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.

What happens if it’s left?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and your cleaning team stops chasing it. For buildings around smaller places like Five Ashes, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Common problems we fix in Five Ashes

Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
Keeping Five Ashes washrooms open while we work
Central London is about 37 miles from Five Ashes, within the office belt around the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
For a site such as Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, 4.3 miles to the north-west of Five Ashes, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of the Good Shepherd, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.

Questions we’re asked in Five Ashes
Is a hospital such as Crowborough War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Five Ashes off your patch?
Not at all. Five Ashes is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
