Washroom sealing in Highams Park, done properly
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. If you have failed sealant behind washroom basins and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Highams Park tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In Highams Park, as across London, commercial kitchens and washrooms need sealed joints that can be cleaned properly. We use sanitary and hygienic sealants, choosing food-safe products where food may touch the surface.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Busy facilities in and around Highams Park
In London buildings, toilets and showers generally need to stay partly open, so we phase the work core by core or floor by floor with the building manager. Highams Park has 18 care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
Student showers at universities like University of Portsmouth Walthamstow Campus (1.6 miles south of Highams Park) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. For a college such as Sir George Monoux College (0.7 miles south of Highams Park), half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Do you need washroom sealing in Highams Park?
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
Clinical washrooms at sites like Whipps Cross University Hospital, 2.1 miles south of Highams Park, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Whipps Cross University Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can work in a care setting near Highams Park go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
What happens if it’s left?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
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 quote once you have the details.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. In Highams Park, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- 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
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
