About our washroom sealing in Shaw
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. If you have failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Shaw, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as Shaw, commercial washrooms tend to be in schools, pubs, cafés, surgeries, care homes and sports clubs. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Shaw
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Shaw can form part of a wider programme across West Berkshire.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Shaw
There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Shaw. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. Central London is about 53 miles from Shaw, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
Units at estates like Riverpark Industrial Estate, under half a mile south of Shaw, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. At a hotel such as Chequer's Hotel (0.5 miles west of Shaw), the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms. For a site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital, 1 mile east of Shaw, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.

Questions about Shaw
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Shaw too far out for you?
Not at all. Shaw is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
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.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Work in places the size of Shaw is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let us know about inductions and permits
