How we handle washroom sealing in Oakwood
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. The enquiries we see most involve shower tray joints that have opened up and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, across vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Oakwood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a London area such as Oakwood, commercial washrooms in offices, hotels and leisure buildings see constant use. We cut out tired sealant around vanity units, cubicles, IPS panels and showers and lay fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone, a block of facilities at a time.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Your questions answered
Will our hotel in Oakwood need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you work in a care home near Oakwood with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
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. In Oakwood, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Sanitary sealant for Oakwood buildings
Oakwood has five care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs. The area within 2 miles of Oakwood holds a number of hotels. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
At a hotel such as Southgate Hotel London, which lies south of Oakwood, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms. Office washrooms on sites such as North London Business Park, 1.6 miles south-west of Oakwood, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open. For a hall at a building such as St Thomas's Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
