Washroom sealing in Fortis Green
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a job in Fortis Green, access comes first. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Washroom sealing in Fortis Green
In a commercial washroom, sealant is typically the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. If you’re dealing with sealant stained black around basins and showers and shower tray joints that have opened up, we can put it right, on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Fortis Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In Fortis Green, as across London, commercial kitchens and washrooms need sealed joints that can be cleaned properly. Hygienic and anti-mould sanitary sealants are used where they suit, with food-safe products where food contact is possible.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Questions we’re asked in Fortis Green
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Will you work in a care home in Fortis Green without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Keeping Fortis Green washrooms open while we work
A London building with hundreds of occupants can’t lose every washroom for a day, so we take one block of facilities out of use at a time. Fortis Green has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Toilets at places like Friern Bridge Retail Park (1.4 miles north of Fortis Green) are cleaned constantly, which is hard on silicone. For a campus such as American University in London (2.7 miles south-east of Fortis Green), showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. En suites at hotels like National Hotel (to the east of Fortis Green) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade after the old bead and residue are removed.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
