About our washroom sealing in Gurnard
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. The enquiries we see most involve split or peeling sealant at shower trays and sealant stained black around basins and showers, on showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Gurnard, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Gurnard, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. They are checked with everything else.
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. They stop water reaching the panel boards.
Gurnard: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Gurnard outside your area?
No. Places such as Gurnard are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work in a care home near Gurnard with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Why act early in Gurnard
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Converted and older buildings near places like Gurnard tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Wet areas in Gurnard’s workplaces
Gurnard sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. A 2-mile radius around Gurnard takes in several hotels. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at All Saints' Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. Hotels such as New Holmwood Hotel, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Gurnard, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. At a hospital like St Mary's Hospital, which lies south of Gurnard, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Gurnard may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
