Common questions from Monkswood clients
Will our hotel in Monkswood need to close for the work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Would you work within a site like Queen Elizabeth II Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Monkswood
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:

- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels

How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For a building around Monkswood, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.

- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
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.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Note failing joints building by building
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
