Washroom sealing in Islington
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. If you are dealing with panel joints letting water behind and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, we can help, on showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Islington? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Many London buildings can’t close every toilet at once. Washrooms are done core by core or floor by floor, with signage and a plan agreed beforehand.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

When to call us in Islington
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Look out for the following:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
Toilets at colleges like City and Islington College, 0.6 miles south of Islington, take heavy use from students and staff alike.

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
How the job changes by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. They stop water reaching the panel boards.
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Stained or split joints here trap smells and make the room look neglected.

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Islington
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road campus)?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does a hotel in Islington need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Why act early in Islington
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why clients in Islington choose us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Busy London buildings need some toilets open at all times, so we take one block of facilities out of use at a time. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Islington. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later.
