What we’re called out for in Patching
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
At a hospital like Springfield Hospital (0.8 miles east of Patching), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Patching
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about sealant lifting along a tray edge and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, across IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Patching from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
A place of Patching’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. They don’t need a big crew, but they do need old sealant fully cut out before anti-mould silicone goes on.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs: Patching
Is Patching too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Must a hotel around Patching close while you work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you send site paperwork?
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 do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
