Washroom sealing near Martin
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How we handle washroom sealing in Martin
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we are called in for most is mould spotting along silicone joints and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Martin? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller places such as Martin still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why act early in Martin
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. Older rural buildings around Martin move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Royal Victoria Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does a hotel in Martin need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Wet areas in Martin’s workplaces
Martin sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Martin. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Office washrooms on sites such as White Cliffs Business Park (to the south-west of Martin) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Royal Victoria Hospital, 3.6 miles south-west of Martin, need cleanable, sound silicone.
