Washroom sealing in How Green: the local picture
At about 23 miles from central London, How Green is within reach of the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
Schools such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. Healthcare estates like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital (2 miles west of How Green) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St Peter, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

Washroom sealing in How Green, done properly
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. The enquiries we see most involve split or peeling sealant at shower trays and urinal joints that look unhygienic, on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. A single leaking joint is often how a building in How Green first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Halls and community buildings near places like How Green are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Advice
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Why it’s worth doing now in How Green
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Around How Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Common questions from How Green clients
Is How Green off your patch?
No. Places such as How Green are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in How Green for resealing?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
