About our washroom sealing in Letchworth
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. We work on kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and IPS panels and cubicles, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints along basins and vanity units and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling. Most enquiries from Letchworth start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Pubs, restaurants and cafés in a town like Letchworth have kitchens and customer toilets that need smooth, sealed joints. Cleanable surfaces are something environmental health officers look at, and sealed joints help.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Town-centre premises in Letchworth may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. Industrial and business units typically have yard or car park space.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Questions about Letchworth
Does a hotel in Letchworth need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In most 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.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Pinehill Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Common problems we fix in Letchworth
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- A new bead over an old one coming away
At a hotel such as The Broadway Hotel, which lies west of Letchworth, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
