Washroom sealing in Matching Tye, done properly
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. The enquiries we see most involve a new bead over an old one coming away and shower tray joints that have opened up, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and vanity units and basins. Whoever orders the work in Matching Tye, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Matching Tye, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Questions about Matching Tye
Would you work within a site like Princess Alexandra Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Matching Tye off your patch?
No. Places such as Matching Tye are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.

Why deal with it now?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Matching Tye, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Why appoint us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
Wet areas in Matching Tye’s workplaces
The area within 2 miles of Matching Tye holds a number of hotels. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. At about 23 miles from central London, Matching Tye is within reach of the capital, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
If you manage an office at a site such as Hastingwood Business Centre, which lies south-west of Matching Tye, the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time. For a hotel such as Down Hall Hotel, 1.2 miles north-east of Matching Tye, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What we are called out for in Matching Tye
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
Healthcare estates like Princess Alexandra Hospital (to the west of Matching Tye) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Matching Tye, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached
