Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Questions about Galleywood
Can work at a site such as Anglia Ruskin University fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Galleywood too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Galleywood is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Why it’s worth doing now in Galleywood
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Small buildings around Galleywood suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What you get with us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Public liability insurance in place

What we’re called out for in Galleywood
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
Look out for the following:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as Anglia Ruskin University, 2.9 miles north of Galleywood, are easiest to reseal during vacations.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
