Washroom sealing in Great Lea Common, done properly
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Great Lea Common it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Condensation from failed extract fans

What happens if it’s left?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. For buildings around smaller places like Great Lea Common, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

What we’re called out for in Great Lea Common
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus, 2.5 miles to the north-east of Great Lea Common, are easiest to reseal during vacations.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?

Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.

Questions about Great Lea Common
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Berkshire Independent Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can work at a site such as University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next.

Different surfaces, different methods
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
