Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Share your site rules when you send details
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
How we handle washroom sealing in Houghton
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. Site teams most often ask us about failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and failed sealant behind washroom basins, on urinals and WCs, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles. Searching for sealant specialists in Houghton? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Houghton: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Arundel & District Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Houghton for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Is Houghton in your area?
Yes. Houghton falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Common problems we fix in Houghton
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
For an occupier at a site such as Quell Farm Industrial Estate, 2.9 miles north of Houghton, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

Washroom sealing in Houghton: the local picture
Houghton lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Schools such as Dorset House School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.

Why act early in Houghton
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Older rural buildings around Houghton move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building around Houghton, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send your site hours and access windows
