Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Gibraltar, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University Campus Aylesbury Vale?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.

How the job changes by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant and we look at them as one job.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Commercial washrooms in Gibraltar
At about 40 miles from central London, Gibraltar is within reach of the capital. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, which is why the work is phased.
On a healthcare site such as St John's Hospital, 1.4 miles to the north-east of Gibraltar, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. Halls linked to places like Church of Saints Peter and Paul host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.
Gibraltar is about 3 miles south-west of Haydon Hill, in Buckinghamshire. Anywhere in HP17, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 308 places across Buckinghamshire fall within our area, including Gibraltar. Oxford is covered too, around 14 miles from Gibraltar.
We take on washrooms and wet areas across the HP17 and HP18 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Buildings on New Road, Brogan Place and Donnington Row are within our area.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Gibraltar
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- A new bead over an old one coming away
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University Campus Aylesbury Vale, 4.3 miles to the east of Gibraltar, are easiest to reseal during vacations.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
