When to call us in Hitchin
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor at skirting lines, urinal bases and around pans.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
At a hotel such as The Sun Hotel, under half a mile to the south-west of Hitchin, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. 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. For a town like Hitchin, we try to group jobs for the same client into one visit. Tell us when the building is open and we will plan to suit.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints

Questions we’re asked in Hitchin
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as North Hertfordshire College - Hitchin Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Must a hotel around Hitchin close while you work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.

- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes

Leave it or put it right?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed for now. In Hitchin, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. After a leak, there’s drying, repairs and redecoration on top.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Take a look at how commercial sealant jobs are priced or our accreditations.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
To price the job, we consider:
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
