About our washroom sealing in Limehouse
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If you have failed sealant behind washroom basins and shower tray joints that have opened up, we can help, on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Limehouse, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Restaurants, cafés and hotel kitchens across London have joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding that need to stay smooth and cleanable. We use sanitary and hygienic sealants, choosing food-safe products where food may touch the surface.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Commercial washrooms in Limehouse
Busy London buildings need some toilets open at all times, which is why the work is split into phases agreed in advance. The 2 miles around Limehouse include nine care or nursing homes. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
For a campus such as University of Cumbria in London, which lies south-east of Limehouse, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. On a healthcare site such as The London Independent Hospital, 0.7 miles to the north-west of Limehouse, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
Limehouse is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Anywhere in E14, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 764 places across Greater London fall within our area, Limehouse among them.
Commercial sites across E14, E3 and E1 are covered. For a building on Oak Lane, Bale Road and Wharf Lane or nearby, we can quote for washrooms and wet areas. Main routes into Limehouse include the A126. We also cover Bow Common (1 mile east), Mile End (1 mile north), Ratcliff (1 mile south-west), Stepney (1 mile west) and Shadwell (1 mile south-west). Further afield, our area takes in London (3 miles south-west), City of Westminster (5 miles west), Marylebone (5 miles west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Walthamstow (5 miles north).

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
Questions about Limehouse
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Cumbria in London for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do hotels near Limehouse have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and we clear our waste as we work. In Limehouse, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space

What we’re called out for in Limehouse
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
In a centre such as Anchor Retail Park (0.9 miles north-west of Limehouse), public washrooms are resealed a block of facilities at a time.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
Healthcare and care settings
We phase washroom sealing so care areas are never left without facilities. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
