Toilets, showers and kitchens around Pingewood
At about 40 miles from central London, Pingewood is within reach of the capital, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we work a block of facilities at a time. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Pingewood. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later.
At a university such as University of Reading (2.9 miles north-east of Pingewood), summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. At a college such as Integration College, 2.7 miles to the north-west of Pingewood, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. For buildings on a site such as Green Park Business Park (0.9 miles east of Pingewood), washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.

How we handle washroom sealing in Pingewood
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you have failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, we can help, on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Pingewood it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Pingewood, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Sealant that has gone black with mould typically can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

Questions we’re asked in Pingewood
Is Pingewood off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Reading for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Different surfaces, different methods
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Pingewood can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
