Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Merstham outside your area?
No. Places such as Merstham are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like North Downs Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Washroom sealing in Merstham
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. If you have failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Merstham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Community buildings around smaller places like Merstham have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why deal with it now?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. Converted and older buildings near places like Merstham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing and we will point out any we see.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Merstham
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of St Katharine, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their public liability cover
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Jobs in and around smaller places like Merstham are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
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.
