Jacobs Well: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Mount Alvernia Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Surrey?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Usually not. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do you work in Jacobs Well?
Yes. Sites across Jacobs Well are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Washroom sealing in Jacobs Well, done properly
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs, and what we are called in for most is discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and mould spotting along silicone joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Jacobs Well? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller places such as Jacobs Well still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Commercial clients in Jacobs Well
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Jacobs Well
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as St Peter's Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
