Washroom sealing in Milton, done properly
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. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels so they get particular attention. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and split or peeling sealant at shower trays.

Keeping Milton washrooms open while we work
Milton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Milton. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs.
For a store at a site such as The Bridge Shopping Centre, which lies west of Milton, the staff room and customer toilets can be resealed in quiet periods. For a site such as St James Hospital, which lies east of Milton, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. Toilets at colleges like Portsmouth College (to the north-east of Milton) take heavy use from students and staff alike.

Questions about Milton
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Portsmouth?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Will our hotel in Milton need to close for the work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Milton
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For a job in Milton, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
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 normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
