Questions about Plaistow
Will you work in a care home in Plaistow without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Washroom sealing in Plaistow, done properly
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, across vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Plaistow is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

What happens if it’s left?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed while bigger works are planned. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- One number for every site we cover

Common problems we fix in Plaistow
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
At a hotel such as Prince Regent Hotel, which lies south-east of Plaistow, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
