About our washroom sealing in Roughdown
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mould spotting along silicone joints and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Roughdown it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller places such as Roughdown 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Wet areas in Roughdown’s workplaces
Roughdown lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready.
For buildings on a site such as Glenmore Business Park, 1.4 miles to the north of Roughdown, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week. Schools such as Blackfield Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Condensation from failed extract fans
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Roughdown
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

FAQs: Roughdown
Is a hospital such as Hythe Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as Totton College Waterside Centre fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Normally not. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Roughdown
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
On a healthcare site such as Hythe Hospital (2.8 miles north of Roughdown), washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
