About our washroom sealing in Great Totham
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are open joints along basins and vanity units and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Great Totham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around Great Totham, washroom work usually comes one building at a time. Photos of each area help us plan the visit and bring the right sealant.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Great Totham need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Quoting for work in Great Totham
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. For buildings in places like Great Totham, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Questions about Great Totham
Is Great Totham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Great Totham is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Great Totham?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
