Your questions answered
Do you work in occupied care homes around Highwood?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St Leonard's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Washroom sealing in Highwood, done properly
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Site teams most often ask us about complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels, across urinals and WCs, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Highwood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller places such as Highwood 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Older rural buildings around Highwood move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building

Keeping Highwood washrooms open while we work
Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Highwood. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
Office toilets at parks like Headlands Business Park, 1.3 miles to the west of Highwood, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as St Leonard's Hospital (to the south-west of Highwood) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules. At a school such as Poulner Infant School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.

Around Highwood

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
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.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
