Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Report faulty extraction promptly
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Smaller jobs around Holwell can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you

Quotes

Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any permits the site uses.
Wet areas in Holwell’s workplaces
Holwell lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.
For a campus such as University of Bedfordshire, which lies west of Holwell, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. For a college such as North Hertfordshire College - Hitchin Campus (2.9 miles south-east of Holwell), half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work. For a hall at a building such as Church of St Peter (C of E) at Corner with Holwell Road, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

Questions about Holwell
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Fairfield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as University of Bedfordshire fit around teaching?
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Converted and older buildings near places like Holwell tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
