What the job involves on each surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
Washroom sealing in Harrow on the Hill
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on vanity units and basins, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and users noticing mouldy joints. Most enquiries from Harrow on the Hill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Many London buildings can’t close every toilet at once. Washrooms are done core by core or floor by floor, with signage and a plan agreed beforehand, so staff and visitors can always find an open washroom.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Harrow on the Hill. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. In Harrow on the Hill, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Harrow on the Hill
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Panel joints letting water behind
For buildings on a site such as Harrovian Business Village, which lies north-west of Harrow on the Hill, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

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
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Questions we’re asked in Harrow on the Hill
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them.
Will our hotel in Harrow on the Hill need to close for the work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The plan is built around your bookings.
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.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
