Washroom sealing across Little Common

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

Looking after the joints

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:

  • Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
  • Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
  • Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
  • Make sure washroom ventilation is running

If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.

Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.

Washroom sealing in Little Common, done properly

When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you are dealing with open joints along basins and vanity units and a new bead over an old one coming away, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Little Common first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

Rural businesses near smaller places such as Little Common, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Our process

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Little Common need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
  2. Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
  3. Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
  4. We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
  5. We confirm reopening times for each washroom.

What we need from you

  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Make sure the joints can be reached

How the quote is worked out

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:

  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • The total length or number of joints

The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Before you send an enquiry

To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • The site address and postcode
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
  • Access details, including height

Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Questions about Little Common

Is a smaller place like Little Common outside your area?

No. Places such as Little Common are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Would you work within a site like Braintree Community Hospital?

Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Can washrooms stay open while you work?

We phase it so there are always facilities open. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.

Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?

Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.

What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?

Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?

Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Washroom sealing in Little Common: the local picture

Central London is about 36 miles from Little Common. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.

Schools such as Rayne Primary and Nursery School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. Office washrooms on sites such as Concord Farm Business Centre (to the south of Little Common) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open. For a hall at a building such as Church of All Saints, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

Work for main contractors and building owners

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.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface

Healthcare and care settings

Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Records you need can be confirmed with the quote.

Urinals and WC pans

The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. We include them in the survey.
