What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
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.

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Great Berry
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are split or peeling sealant at shower trays and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. Searching for sealant specialists in Great Berry? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In and around places like Great Berry, hospitality kitchens and toilets see heavy use in busy spells. Smooth, sealed joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding make cleaning easier, using a food-safe product near food preparation.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.

- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Great Berry
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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
For a college such as Performers College (2.9 miles south-east of Great Berry), half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.

Advice
FAQs: Great Berry
Is Great Berry off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Basildon University Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
