On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Mount Bures need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
How we handle washroom sealing in Mount Bures
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The growth is inside the sealant, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. If you’re dealing with washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Mount Bures, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls and community buildings near places like Mount Bures are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Common questions from Mount Bures clients
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Mount Bures for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Halstead Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors

What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode

- Anything awkward about access or site hours
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
