Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Seven Dials
From one staff toilet in Seven Dials to washrooms across a whole estate, the route is the same: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote and a site visit is an option. Site teams most often ask us about open joints along basins and vanity units and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Seven Dials is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Restaurants, cafés and hotel kitchens across London have joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding that need to stay smooth and cleanable. We use sanitary and hygienic sealants, choosing food-safe products where food may touch the surface.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Seven Dials
The area within 2 miles of Seven Dials holds a good number of hotels. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest. A London building with hundreds of occupants can’t lose every washroom for a day, so we phase the work core by core or floor by floor with the building manager.
At a hospital like Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, 0.6 miles north of Seven Dials, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. Toilets at colleges like Scott's College, less than half a mile to the north-west of Seven Dials, take heavy use from students and staff alike.

What the job involves on each surface
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
Basins and vanity tops
Stone and some composite tops need a neutral-cure sealant, so the product is chosen to suit.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Seven Dials
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
On an industrial estate such as Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Seven Dials, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Our process
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 anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For a job in Seven Dials, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- 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.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

FAQs: Seven Dials
Would you work within a site like Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can work at a site such as University of Notre Dame fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
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 you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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.
Does the weather affect the work?
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. Internal work is far less affected.
Why deal with it now?
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant even when the room is otherwise spotless. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Seven Dials takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
