How we handle washroom sealing in Sheerwater
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. We work on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed sealant behind washroom basins and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen. For commercial sealant work in Sheerwater, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Sheerwater, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Sealant that has gone black with mould usually can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Common questions from Sheerwater clients
Do hotels near Sheerwater have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Woking College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
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.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Sheerwater, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Sheerwater
Sheerwater is about 22 miles from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we work a block of facilities at a time. The 2 miles around Sheerwater include five care or nursing homes. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
En suites at hotels like DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Woking, 1.3 miles south-west of Sheerwater, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. Toilets at colleges like Woking College (2 miles south-west of Sheerwater) take heavy use from students and staff alike. Office washrooms on sites such as Kingsway Business Park (less than half a mile south-west of Sheerwater) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. 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 with more phasing to plan.
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. They are checked with everything else.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below, and we’ll say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Sheerwater
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
