Washroom sealing in Harvel
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are stained sealant around pans and urinals and shower tray joints that have opened up. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Harvel first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller places such as Harvel 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Advice
Common questions from Harvel clients
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Harvel for resealing?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is a smaller place like Harvel outside your area?
No. Places such as Harvel are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Different surfaces, different methods
Healthcare and care settings
Assisted bathrooms and accessible toilets get heavy use, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms in gyms and leisure centres stay wet and warm so sealant there works very hard. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Harvel
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms

Busy facilities in and around Harvel
At about 23 miles from central London, Harvel is within reach of the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
For a school such as Culverstone Green Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. For an occupier at a site such as Bowes Industrial Centre, which lies north-west of Harvel, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

Why deal with it now?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Harvel. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What you get with us
- One contact handling all your sites
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Colour options checked against the specified product
Take a look at our cost guide or our accreditations.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Common problems we fix in Harvel
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.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
Halls linked to places like Church of Our Lady of the Meadow host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their public liability cover
