About our washroom sealing in Shotover Hill
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. If you have split or peeling sealant at shower trays and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Shotover Hill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In and around places like Shotover Hill, hospitality kitchens and toilets see heavy use in busy spells. Sealed joints at sinks, worktops and splashbacks help keep the kitchen cleanable.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Quoting for work in Shotover Hill
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Why act early in Shotover Hill
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed for now. For buildings in places like Shotover Hill, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

FAQs: Shotover Hill
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Oxford Brookes University?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Churchill Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
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.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a job in Shotover Hill, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
