Washroom sealing for Shorne Ridgeway sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
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.
Washroom sealing in Shorne Ridgeway
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are shower tray joints that have opened up and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms. Most enquiries from Shorne Ridgeway start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller places such as Shorne Ridgeway still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould typically 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, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Questions we are asked in Shorne Ridgeway
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like French Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Shorne Ridgeway too far out for you?
Not at all. Shorne Ridgeway is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Typically not. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shorne Ridgeway
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. For buildings around smaller places like Shorne Ridgeway, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why clients in Shorne Ridgeway choose us
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

- Failed material removed, not covered up
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Common problems we fix in Shorne Ridgeway
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester, 4 miles to the south-east of Shorne Ridgeway, are easiest to reseal during vacations.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The named product and why it was chosen
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Shorne Ridgeway may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
