Washroom sealing in Parkgate
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins, and what we’re called in for most is mould spotting along silicone joints and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling. Most enquiries from Parkgate start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Smaller places such as Parkgate still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- 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.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Parkgate can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.

- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site

Common problems we fix in Parkgate
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 peels away quickly.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Pupil toilets at schools like Homewood School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

FAQs: Parkgate
Does a hotel in Parkgate need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
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 will plan around them.
Is Parkgate off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.

What we can’t put right

- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
