Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
Washroom sealing in Kintbury
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we’re called in for most is stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and failed sealant behind washroom basins. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Kintbury, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller places such as Kintbury 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Kintbury
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
At a school such as Kintbury St Mary's C.E. Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.

Your questions answered
Is Kintbury too far out for you?
Not at all. Kintbury is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will all the washrooms in our Kintbury building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Kintbury. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
