Washroom sealing in Great Shefford, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on urinals and WCs, kitchens and tea points and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints at the base of cubicle panels and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Great Shefford first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller places such as Great Shefford still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Surface by surface
Kitchens and tea points
We plan kitchen sealing around when the kitchen is in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints and we look at them as one job.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Great Shefford
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs: Great Shefford
Is Great Shefford too far out for you?
Not at all. Great Shefford is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Great Shefford?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Typically not. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
