Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
How we handle washroom sealing in North Harrow
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. If you are dealing with sealant stained black around basins and showers and users noticing mouldy joints, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in North Harrow is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a London area such as North Harrow, 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.
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.

Washroom sealing around North Harrow: how the place shapes the job
A 2-mile radius around North Harrow takes in several hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. Busy London buildings need some toilets open at all times, which is why the work is split into phases agreed in advance.
At a hospital like Cygnet Hospital, 1.6 miles to the south-east of North Harrow, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. Toilets at places like St. George's Shopping Centre (1 mile east of North Harrow) are cleaned constantly, so silicone needs to be sound and smooth.
North Harrow is about 1 mile north-west of Harrow, in Greater London. We send applicators to North Harrow for washrooms and wet areas. 764 places across Greater London fall within our area, North Harrow among them. Sites around London have their own page, about 13 miles away.

When to call us in North Harrow
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Student showers at universities like Westminster University, 1.8 miles east of North Harrow, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Why it’s worth doing now in North Harrow
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. In North Harrow, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. In North Harrow, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Related advice
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Note failing joints building by building
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.

Questions we are asked in North Harrow
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Would you work within a site like Cygnet Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
