Wet areas in Loughton’s workplaces
Loughton is about 12 miles from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, which is why the work is phased.
Toilets at colleges like New City College, 0.5 miles to the east of Loughton, take heavy use from students and staff alike. For a school such as The Alderton Infant School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. Halls linked to places like St. John's Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

About our washroom sealing in Loughton
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. If you are dealing with shower tray joints that have opened up and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Loughton it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Schools in towns like Loughton usually want washrooms and changing rooms done in the holidays, whereas care homes and offices normally need a few rooms at a time. Let us know your opening times and any access limits, and we will work to them.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Loughton as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Quoting for work in Loughton
What shapes the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Note failing joints building by building
- Report faulty extraction promptly
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.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
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.
Surface by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints, and we survey them together.
Healthcare and care settings
Assisted bathrooms and accessible toilets get heavy use, so their joints often need renewing sooner.

Advice
FAQs: Loughton
Is hospital work, at somewhere like The Holly Private Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as New City College fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
