How we handle washroom sealing in Lodge Lees
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. The enquiries we see most involve sealant lifting along a tray edge and stained sealant around pans and urinals, on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins. For commercial sealant work in Lodge Lees, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Community buildings around smaller places like Lodge Lees have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Lodge Lees as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Wet areas in Lodge Lees’s workplaces
The area within 2 miles of Lodge Lees holds a number of hotels. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest. Lodge Lees lies roughly 58 miles out from central London. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of St Mary Magdalene, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. En suites at hotels like Broome Park Hotel (0.8 miles north-east of Lodge Lees) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.

Common questions from Lodge Lees clients
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Lodge Lees for resealing?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
Do hotels near Lodge Lees have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Common problems we fix in Lodge Lees
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
For buildings on a site such as Barham Business Park (0.7 miles west of Lodge Lees), washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Note failing joints building by building
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
