Common questions from Silvertown clients
Will you work in a care home in Silvertown without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is Silvertown in your area?
Yes. Silvertown falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
About our washroom sealing in Silvertown
In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. We work on urinals and WCs, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sealant lifting along a tray edge and users noticing mouldy joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Silvertown first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In Silvertown, as across London, commercial kitchens and washrooms need sealed joints that can be cleaned properly. Hygienic and anti-mould sanitary sealants are used where they suit, with food-safe products where food contact is possible.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Keeping Silvertown washrooms open while we work
There are five care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Silvertown. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Silvertown. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
Toilets at places like Brocklebank Retail Park (to the south-west of Silvertown) are cleaned constantly, so silicone needs to be sound and smooth. On a healthcare site such as Newham University Hospital, which lies north of Silvertown, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
Silvertown is about 1 mile south of Canning Town, in Greater London. Anywhere in E16, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Leave it or put it right?
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Different surfaces, different methods
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. In Silvertown, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

What else we do in Silvertown
Signs you need washroom sealing in Silvertown
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
For a college such as New City College (2.1 miles west of Silvertown), half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.
