London Fields: questions and answers
Will our hotel in London Fields need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Would you work within a site like Homerton University Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
About our washroom sealing in London Fields
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. The enquiries we see most involve split or peeling sealant at shower trays and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, across kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in London Fields, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Washrooms in London offices, hotels and gyms are used hard from morning to evening. Mouldy or split sealant at vanity tops, IPS panels and urinals is replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone, in phases so some facilities stay open.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Sanitary sealant for London Fields buildings
14 care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from London Fields. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from London Fields. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
At a university such as Queen Mary University of London, 1.4 miles to the south-east of London Fields, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.

Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Bayford Street Industrial Centre (to the east of London Fields) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

When to bring in a specialist
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Quoting for work in London Fields
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. 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.
Why deal with it now?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant even when the room is otherwise spotless. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

What else we do in London Fields
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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. Planning a London job such as one in London Fields starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
