About our washroom sealing in Great Wigborough
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. The enquiries we see most involve stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels, across showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins. Whoever orders the work in Great Wigborough, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller places such as Great Wigborough 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: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Great Wigborough are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What else we do in Great Wigborough
What happens if it’s left?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right for now. Halls, stores and units around places like Great Wigborough may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
