Questions we are asked in Perry Vale
Would you work within a site like University Hospital Lewisham?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Washroom sealing in Perry Vale
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and IPS panels and cubicles. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Perry Vale tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Many London buildings can’t close every toilet at once. We work through washrooms floor by floor or core by core, at times agreed with you, so staff and visitors can always find an open washroom.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Perry Vale
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
What we’re called out for in Perry Vale
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
Student showers at universities like King's College London, 3.2 miles to the north-west of Perry Vale, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Keeping Perry Vale washrooms open while we work
Perry Vale has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. Perry Vale has five care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
