Pickhurst: questions and answers

Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Brinsbury College?

Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

Will the toilets in our Pickhurst building be out of use?

Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.

Can washrooms stay open while you work?

We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?

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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Do you take on small jobs?

We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.

About our washroom sealing in Pickhurst

Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. Site teams most often ask us about kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and kitchens and tea points. Searching for sealant specialists in Pickhurst? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Smaller places such as Pickhurst 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.

We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why act early in Pickhurst

Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and your cleaning team stops chasing it. Around Pickhurst, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Why us?

  • Specification-led, product-correct work
  • Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
  • Matching to RAL references, product permitting
  • Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

What affects the price in Pickhurst

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:

  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Before you send an enquiry

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

  • Access details, including height
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Clear photos of the problem areas
  • Specification clauses that apply

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Keeping the joints sound

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
  • Respect the cure time before reopening each room
  • Inspect washroom sealant regularly
  • Keep extract fans working and vents clear

If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.

Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.

What the job involves on each surface

Changing rooms and gyms

Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant and we look at them as one job.

Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints

Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.

From enquiry to sign-off

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Pickhurst need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
  2. We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
  3. We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
  4. Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
  5. A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
  6. Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.

Preparing the site

  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Send your site hours and access windows
