There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Lane End
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
For a hotel such as Linnets Hotel (1.2 miles south-east of Lane End), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Before you book anyone
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Proof of insurance
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Questions about Lane End
Will our hotel in Lane End need to close for the work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Will the toilets in our Lane End building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Leave it or put it right?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right for now. Halls, stores and units around places like Lane End may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
