How we handle washroom sealing in Hither Green
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. Most enquiries involve resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and urinal joints that look unhygienic, on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and IPS panels and cubicles. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Hither Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a London area such as Hither Green, commercial washrooms in offices, hotels and leisure buildings see constant use. Mouldy or split sealant at vanity tops, IPS panels and urinals is replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone, in phases so some facilities stay open.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. For a job in Hither Green, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Questions about Hither Green
Is hospital work, at somewhere like University Hospital Lewisham, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will our hotel in Hither Green need to close for the work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Note failing joints building by building
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Hither Green
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Hither Green can form part of a wider programme.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
How the job changes by surface
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. They are checked with everything else.
