When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
How we handle washroom sealing in Salfords
In a commercial washroom, sealant is typically the first thing to wear out. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. If you’re dealing with sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Salfords is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Community buildings around smaller places like Salfords have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What affects the price in Salfords
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. You can also send details through our quote form.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Rural sites near Salfords may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Salfords: questions and answers
Will our hotel in Salfords need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Is Salfords off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. 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.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

What else we do in Salfords
Surface by surface
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Resealing early protects the unit.
When to call us in Salfords
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
Units at estates like Salbrook Road Industrial Estate (less than half a mile east of Salfords) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. Salfords lies roughly 21 miles out from central London.
