Washroom sealing for Lee Gate sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Washroom sealing in Lee Gate
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. We work on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and what we’re called in for most is mould spotting along silicone joints and panel joints letting water behind.

Halls and community buildings near places like Lee Gate are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Lee Gate
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common questions from Lee Gate clients
Can work at a site such as Buckinghamshire New University fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Lee Gate outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Keeping Lee Gate washrooms open while we work
Lee Gate is about 31 miles from central London. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.
At a university such as Buckinghamshire New University, 4.7 miles south-east of Lee Gate, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. Office toilets at parks like Station Approach Business Park (to the north-west of Lee Gate) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows. Pupil toilets at schools like Lee Common Church of England School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal

- IPS panels and cubicles
Why it’s worth doing now in Lee Gate
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. For buildings around smaller places like Lee Gate, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
