Common questions from Little Tew clients
Does a hotel in Little Tew need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Little Tew for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
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.
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 before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Little Tew
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. 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. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we’re called in for most is split or peeling sealant at shower trays and a new bead over an old one coming away. Most enquiries from Little Tew start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Little Tew, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Converted and older buildings near places like Little Tew tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Washroom sealing in Little Tew: the local picture
Little Tew is about 66 miles from central London. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, which is why the work is phased. A 2-mile radius around Little Tew takes in several hotels. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St John the Evangelist, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. For a school such as Great Tew County Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. On an industrial estate such as Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate (2 miles south of Little Tew), staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day, so mould is a constant battle. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and make the room look neglected.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If others near Little Tew need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
