Washroom sealing in Hermitage, done properly
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. If you’re dealing with sealant stained black around basins and showers and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can help, on kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors alike. Most enquiries from Hermitage start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Hermitage, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we’ll plan around them.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Leave it or put it right?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells which costs more to fix than a reseal. Around Hermitage, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

When to bring in 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 else we do in Hermitage
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, with the work itself normally taking a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For work around Hermitage, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Condensation from failed extract fans
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Hermitage
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.

Who decides which product is used?
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.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Busy facilities in and around Hermitage
Hermitage is about 51 miles from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, which is why the work is phased. A 2-mile radius around Hermitage takes in a number of hotels. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later.
Halls linked to places like Holy Trinity host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. Pupil toilets at schools like Hermitage Primary School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal. Healthcare estates like West Berkshire Community Hospital, 3.3 miles south of Hermitage, expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.
