Questions about Matchams
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Sheiling College?
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.
Is a smaller place like Matchams outside your area?
No. Places such as Matchams are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
About our washroom sealing in Matchams
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. Most enquiries involve sealant lifting along a tray edge and urinal joints that look unhygienic, on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms. For commercial sealant work in Matchams, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Matchams, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Matchams as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Commercial clients in Matchams
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Matchams can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Quoting for work in Matchams
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
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 usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Matchams may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
