About our washroom sealing in Shawford
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels so they get particular attention. If you are dealing with stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and open joints along basins and vanity units, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Shawford, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Halls and community buildings near places like Shawford are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shawford are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Do you need washroom sealing in Shawford?
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Winchester, 2.6 miles north of Shawford, are easiest to reseal during vacations.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Shawford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Common questions from Shawford clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Winchester?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wessex Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
