About our washroom sealing in Highbrook
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Highbrook it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Highbrook, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
Staff kitchens and tea points have joints at worktops, sinks and splashbacks. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. They are checked with everything else.

What else we do in Highbrook
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Highbrook
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
Office washrooms on sites such as Horsted Keynes Business Park (1.1 miles south-east of Highbrook) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Share your site rules when you send details
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.

Your questions answered
Is Highbrook too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Highbrook are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Must every washroom in our Highbrook building shut while you work?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
