Washroom sealing across Greengate
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Planning a London job such as one in Greengate starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints

- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber

What we’re called out for in Greengate
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
En suites at hotels like Prince Regent Hotel, 1 mile to the south of Greengate, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.

Common questions from Greengate clients
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of East London for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do hotels near Greengate have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The postcode of the building
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Keeping Greengate washrooms open while we work
There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Greengate. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. In London buildings, toilets and showers generally need to stay partly open, so we take one block of facilities out of use at a time.
