The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
How we handle washroom sealing in Norcot
From one staff toilet in Norcot to washrooms across a whole estate, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. Site teams most often ask us about shower tray joints that have opened up and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, across vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms. For commercial sealant work in Norcot, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
A place of Norcot’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Norcot
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Small buildings around Norcot suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
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 quote when you’re ready.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Norcot
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
At a college such as Integration College, which lies south-west of Norcot, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Proof of insurance

Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Note failing joints building by building
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.

Your questions answered
Is Norcot off your patch?
Not at all. Norcot is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Reading?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a site in Norcot, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
