Commercial clients in Lee-over-Sands
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Lee-over-Sands need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
What affects the price in Lee-over-Sands
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Our quote form is another easy route.
Doing it in-house
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

What else we do in Lee-over-Sands
Your questions answered
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Lee-over-Sands?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will the toilets in our Lee-over-Sands building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
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.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
