Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
Washroom sealing in Great Waltham, done properly
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. The enquiries we see most involve resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and urinal joints that look unhygienic, on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Great Waltham first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Smaller places such as Great Waltham 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.
Work we carry out in Essex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.
Common problems we fix in Great Waltham
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of SS Mary and Laurence, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

Your questions answered
Is Great Waltham too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Great Waltham are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Anglia Ruskin University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Jobs in and around smaller places like Great Waltham are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints

Pupil toilets at schools like Chelmer Valley High School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal. Office washrooms on sites such as Regiment Business Park, 2 miles south-east of Great Waltham, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Why deal with it now?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant even when the room is otherwise spotless. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Great Waltham. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
