How we handle washroom sealing in Old Wives Lees
Whether it’s a single toilet block in Old Wives Lees 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. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote and a site visit is an option. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs, and what we’re called in for most is resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and urinal joints that look unhygienic. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Old Wives Lees, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls and community buildings near places like Old Wives Lees 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Stained or split joints here trap smells and look unhygienic.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Questions we’re asked in Old Wives Lees
Is Old Wives Lees too far out for you?
No. Places such as Old Wives Lees are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Old Wives Lees are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
