Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Lordswood
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 mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, we can put it right, on kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lordswood tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a smaller place such as Lordswood, commercial washrooms tend to be in schools, pubs, cafés, surgeries, care homes and sports clubs. They don’t need a big crew, but they do need old sealant fully cut out before anti-mould silicone goes on.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Advice
Do you need washroom sealing in Lordswood?
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Southampton (1.8 miles south-east of Lordswood) are easiest to reseal during vacations.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

What else we do in Lordswood
Commercial washrooms in Lordswood
With the shore within about 3 miles, Lordswood counts as a coastal location, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. A 2-mile radius around Lordswood takes in a number of hotels. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
At a hotel such as DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Southampton, 1.5 miles north-east of Lordswood, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms. Toilets at colleges like Richard Taunton Sixth Form College (to the south-east of Lordswood) take heavy use from students and staff alike.

Lordswood: questions and answers
Is Lordswood off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do hotels near Lordswood have to close for sealant work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
The work is phased 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 will plan around them.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.

It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.

Quoting for work in Lordswood
To price the job, we consider:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits

The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Lordswood
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
