Advice
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Frating Green
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. Site teams most often ask us about stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and a new bead over an old one coming away, across vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Whoever orders the work in Frating Green, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Frating Green, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
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.

What else we do in Frating Green
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.

Office toilets at parks like Plough Road Business Centre (to the south-east of Frating Green) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.

FAQs: Frating Green
Is Frating Green too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Essex?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Frating Green can form part of a wider programme.
What we are called out for in Frating Green
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Student showers at universities like University of Essex (4 miles west of Frating Green) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
