How we handle washroom sealing in Hockley
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Site teams most often ask us about open joints along basins and vanity units and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hockley tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as Hockley, commercial washrooms tend to be in schools, pubs, cafés, surgeries, care homes and sports clubs. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
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.

Office washrooms on sites such as Airport Business Park, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Hockley, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Hockley
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Rochford Hospital (2.4 miles south-east of Hockley) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

Different surfaces, different methods

Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first, and we will say so before resealing.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hockley
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. For buildings in places like Hockley, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a job in Hockley, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Hockley
Is Hockley too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as South Essex College Stephenson Road Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, 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?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
What affects the price in Hockley
These are the things that shape the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing

The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
