How we handle washroom sealing in Nutcombe
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. The enquiries we see most involve complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, across showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Nutcombe, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Halls and community buildings near places like Nutcombe are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Washroom sealing around Nutcombe: how the place shapes the job
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Nutcombe. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home. A 2-mile radius around Nutcombe takes in a number of hotels. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
En suites at hotels like Devil's Punchbowl Hotel, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Nutcombe, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. On a healthcare site such as Holy Cross Hospital (0.9 miles south of Nutcombe), washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Nutcombe need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. They are checked with everything else.
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Holy Cross Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Must a hotel around Nutcombe close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
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.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
Leave it or put it right?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Halls, stores and units around places like Nutcombe 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.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?

Common problems we fix in Nutcombe
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
At a school such as Amesbury School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
