How we handle washroom sealing in Little Somborne
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and mould spotting along silicone joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Little Somborne it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Little Somborne, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common problems we fix in Little Somborne
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
For a college such as Sparsholt College Rifle Range, 2 miles east of Little Somborne, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.

Questions about Little Somborne
Could you schedule work at a campus like Sparsholt College Rifle Range for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
