How we handle washroom sealing in Lyford
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Site teams most often ask us about shower tray joints that have opened up and users noticing mouldy joints, on urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Lyford it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls and community buildings near places like Lyford are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Lyford can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Oxfordshire.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Lyford need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing, and any we come across will be pointed out.

Why act early in Lyford
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Halls, stores and units around places like Lyford may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Your questions answered
Is Lyford too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is a hospital such as Abingdon Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Typically not. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.

Student showers at universities like University of Oxford (4 miles north of Lyford) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St Mary, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Office toilets at parks like Kingston Business Park, 2.3 miles to the north-east of Lyford, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
