Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. 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.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Converted and older buildings near places like Lumley tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

Questions about Lumley
Does a hotel in Lumley need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Would you work within a site like Spire Hospital Portsmouth?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
The work is phased so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.

Washroom sealing in Lumley: the local picture
Lumley is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. The area within 2 miles of Lumley holds several hotels. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St James, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. For a hotel such as Ropemaker Hotel, which lies west of Lumley, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Lumley
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Users noticing mouldy joints
At a hospital like Spire Hospital Portsmouth (1.5 miles north-west of Lumley), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
