Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote and a site visit is an option.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
FAQs: New Town
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Battle Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do hotels near New Town have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
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 we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Wet areas in New Town’s workplaces
A 2-mile radius around New Town takes in several hotels. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. At about 44 miles from central London, New Town is within reach of the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.
For a hall at a building such as St Stephen's Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. At a school such as Basildon C.E. Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. Healthcare estates like Battle Hospital (5.7 miles east of New Town) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.

Other services in New Town
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like New Town are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Town
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. Halls, stores and units around places like New Town may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
