Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Potter's Forstal are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Potter's Forstal
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant behind washroom basins and stained sealant around pans and urinals, across kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Potter's Forstal from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Community buildings around smaller places like Potter's Forstal have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

Questions we are asked in Potter's Forstal
What site paperwork comes with a job in Potter's Forstal?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will all the washrooms in our Potter's Forstal building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.

How the job changes by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Potter's Forstal
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Around Potter's Forstal, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
