On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. What matters most for a job in Fords Farm is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Arrange parking or a loading space

About our washroom sealing in Fords Farm
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. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Fords Farm from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Jobs in a smaller place such as Fords Farm are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. A list and photographs let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.

What else we do in Fords Farm
What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use, so the sealant has to take that movement. Loose panels are flagged before any sealant goes on.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below, and we’ll say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
FAQs: Fords Farm
Is Fords Farm too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Prospect Park Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
