About our washroom sealing in Pratt's Bottom
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, across showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Pratt's Bottom tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a London area such as Pratt's Bottom, commercial washrooms in offices, hotels and leisure buildings see constant use. Mouldy or split sealant at vanity tops, IPS panels and urinals is replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone, in phases so some facilities stay open.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

FAQs: Pratt's Bottom
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
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 take on a job at a hospital such as Chelsfield Park Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
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.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Pratt's Bottom
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- A new bead over an old one coming away
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Chelsfield Park Hospital, 1.4 miles to the north-east of Pratt's Bottom, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. In Pratt's Bottom, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Washroom sealing in Pratt's Bottom: the local picture
There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Pratt's Bottom. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. Work is agreed with the manager, around residents’ routines. London offices and hotels usually can’t close all their washrooms at once, so we phase the work core by core or floor by floor with the building manager.
Pupil toilets at schools like Pratts Bottom Primary School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal. For a job in Pratt's Bottom, we confirm the ULEZ-compliant vehicle, the loading arrangements and where materials go before we arrive.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
