Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Newgate Street, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another 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.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Washroom sealing in Newgate Street, done properly
Whether it’s a single toilet block in Newgate Street or a programme across several buildings, we work the same way: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed sealant behind washroom basins and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen.

When to call us in Newgate Street
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
For a hotel such as Ponsbourne Hotel, which lies north-east of Newgate Street, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Before you book anyone
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
What happens if it’s left?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Converted and older buildings near places like Newgate Street tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

What affects the price in Newgate Street
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- Access and working height
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and look unhygienic.
Keeping Newgate Street washrooms open while we work
Newgate Street lies roughly 16 miles out from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
For an occupier at a site such as Sopers Road Industrial Estate (1.5 miles south of Newgate Street), the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office. At a university such as University of Hertfordshire, 3.5 miles to the north-west of Newgate Street, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.
Newgate Street is about 3 miles north-west of Cheshunt, in Hertfordshire. Anywhere in SG13, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Hertfordshire coverage takes in 371 places. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 16 miles from Newgate Street.
If you need washroom sealing in SG13, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Local landmarks in Newgate Street

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Chase Farm Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Newgate Street outside your area?
No. Places such as Newgate Street are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Usually not. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
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.
