Questions about Foster Street
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Harlow College?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Princess Alexandra Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
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 inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

Washroom sealing in Foster Street
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. The enquiries we see most involve panel joints letting water behind and urinal joints that look unhygienic, across urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors. For commercial sealant work in Foster Street, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller places such as Foster Street still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould typically can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Jobs in and around smaller places like Foster Street are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

What affects the price in Foster Street
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for

What the job involves on each surface
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant and we flag that beforehand.
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and look unhygienic.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Why act early in Foster Street
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. Halls, stores and units around places like Foster Street may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
