Washroom sealing for Locksbottom sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints, and we survey them together.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath, and we’ll say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Washroom sealing in Locksbottom
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Most enquiries involve gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Locksbottom, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Building managers in Locksbottom typically need some facilities open throughout. Washrooms are done core by core or floor by floor, with signage and a plan agreed beforehand, so staff and visitors can always find an open washroom.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Why it’s worth doing now in Locksbottom
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Locksbottom takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.

Questions we are asked in Locksbottom
Do you work in occupied care homes around Locksbottom?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Must a hotel around Locksbottom close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote before we start.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you work in Locksbottom?
Yes. Sites across Locksbottom are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Quoting for work in Locksbottom
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
