Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve sealant stained black around basins and showers and open joints along basins and vanity units, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs.

Common problems we fix in Fordham Heath
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as All Saints Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
Before you book anyone

- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

What else we do in Fordham Heath
Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Common questions from Fordham Heath clients
Is Fordham Heath off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Must a hotel around Fordham Heath close while you work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Fordham Heath
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Fordham Heath can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
