Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Washroom sealing in Horsley Cross
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. If you are dealing with stained sealant around pans and urinals and sealant lifting along a tray edge, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Horsley Cross start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Horsley Cross, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. 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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
IPS and cubicle panels
A panel that has already swollen won’t be fixed by sealant, and any we come across will be pointed out.
Your questions answered
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Horsley Cross?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Horsley Cross too far out for you?
Not at all. Horsley Cross is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long do sealant joints 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.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

Why deal with it now?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Halls, stores and units around places like Horsley Cross may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Note failing joints building by building
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
