How we handle washroom sealing in Setley

Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. We work on vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are split or peeling sealant at shower trays and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Setley, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Community buildings around smaller places like Setley have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.

We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Setley

Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: 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.

Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:

  • Failed sealant behind washroom basins
  • Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
  • Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
  • Panel joints letting water behind

Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of St Nicholas, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • How they handle RAMS and site documents
  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • Who will actually carry out the work

For a college such as Brockenhurst College (1 mile north of Setley), half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work. For a hotel such as Thatched Cottage Hotel (0.7 miles north of Setley), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.

From enquiry to sign-off

At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Rural sites near Setley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

  1. We agree which washrooms close and when.
  2. Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
  3. Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
  4. We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
  5. We confirm reopening times for each washroom.

What we need from you

  • Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot

Related advice

What happens if it’s left?

When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. Older rural buildings around Setley move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Looking after the joints

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:

  • Include joints in routine washroom inspections
  • Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
  • Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
  • Report faulty extraction promptly

Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.

A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.

Owners, agents and contractors

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from Setley clients

Is a smaller place like Setley outside your area?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.

Can weather delay the job?

It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

How do we ask for a quote?

It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.

When can showers be used after new sealant?

That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.

What site paperwork can you supply?

Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.

What the job involves on each surface

Changing rooms and gyms

Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant, and we survey them together.

Showers and trays

Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
