Washroom sealing in Hartley
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed as well as site permits.
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Washroom sealing in Hartley
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. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are shower tray joints that have opened up and stained sealant around pans and urinals. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hartley? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Jobs in a smaller place such as Hartley are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. Photos of each area help us plan the visit and bring the right sealant.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

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 any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For a site in Hartley, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open

Leave it or put it right?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Hartley: questions and answers
Is Hartley too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can work at a site such as University of Greenwich fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.

Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we are called out for in Hartley
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of Saint Mary, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
