Washroom sealing in Shalcombe, done properly
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. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Shalcombe first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Shalcombe, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Isle of Wight. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

What happens if it’s left?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Older rural buildings around Shalcombe 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.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building around Shalcombe, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen work can be phased around service. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Stained or split joints here trap smells and look unhygienic.
What we are called out for in Shalcombe
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 tell you if another trade is needed.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
Halls linked to places like St. Mary's Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

Your questions answered
Is Shalcombe off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which documents can you supply for work in Shalcombe?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
