Washroom sealing in New Southgate
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. Site teams most often ask us about a new bead over an old one coming away and sealant lifting along a tray edge, across vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in New Southgate tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Many London buildings can’t close every toilet at once. We work through washrooms floor by floor or core by core, at times agreed with you, so staff and visitors can always find an open washroom.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
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 will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Questions we’re asked in New Southgate
Will our hotel in New Southgate need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Will you work in a care home in New Southgate without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Sanitary sealant for New Southgate buildings
A London building with hundreds of occupants can’t lose every washroom for a day, so we phase the work core by core or floor by floor with the building manager. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of New Southgate. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Southgate
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints even when the room is otherwise spotless. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Failed sealant in a building in New Southgate can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
