Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in New Eltham
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. The enquiries we see most involve stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and sealant lifting along a tray edge, across vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and kitchens and tea points. Whoever orders the work in New Eltham, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a London area such as New Eltham, commercial washrooms in offices, hotels and leisure buildings see constant use. Mouldy or split sealant at vanity tops, IPS panels and urinals is replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone, in phases so some facilities stay open.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Condensation from failed extract fans

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send your site hours and access windows

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant 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, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic

- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels

FAQs: New Eltham
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can work at a site such as University of Greenwich - Avery Hill fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
