Washroom sealing across Fordham
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Condensation from failed extract fans
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Fordham
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we are called in for most is black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Fordham tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like Fordham have busy toilets and kitchens. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we’ll plan around them.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Common problems we fix in Fordham
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.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
At a hospital like Severalls Hospital, which lies east of Fordham, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
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. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Fordham. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Fordham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Busy facilities in and around Fordham
At about 48 miles from central London, Fordham is within reach of the capital, within the office belt around the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
Customer toilets and staff facilities at retail sites such as Stane Retail Park (2.5 miles south-east of Fordham) need sealant that stays clean under heavy use. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of All Saints, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Fordham is about 5 miles north-west of Colchester, in Essex. Anywhere in CO6, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Fordham is one of 644 places we cover in Essex. We also cover London, some 48 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in CO6 are within our area for washrooms and wet areas. Streets here include Church Road, Herring's Way and Sunnyside Road. We also cover Fordham Heath (1 mile south), Gallows Green (1 mile south), Wormingford (2 miles north), West Bergholt (2 miles east) and Little Horkesley (3 miles north-east).

Your questions answered
Will all the washrooms in our Fordham building be closed at once?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
Is a hospital such as Severalls Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you work in Fordham?
Yes. Fordham falls within our area, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
