Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. For buildings around smaller places like Hellman's Cross, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Questions we’re asked in Hellman's Cross
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Herts and Essex Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Hellman's Cross for resealing?
Normally 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.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
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 will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What the job involves on each surface
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant, and we’ll say so before resealing.
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day, so mould is a constant battle. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Do you need washroom sealing in Hellman's Cross?
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 stain, crack or wash out.
Look out for the following:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Clinical washrooms at sites like Herts and Essex Hospital, 4.9 miles west of Hellman's Cross, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
What to look for in a quote

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
