Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Slade Green
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. We work on kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a new bead over an old one coming away and open joints along basins and vanity units. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Slade Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Many London buildings can’t close every toilet at once. Washrooms are done core by core or floor by floor, with signage and a plan agreed beforehand.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Slade Green
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Look out for the following:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
On a healthcare site such as Erith and District Hospital (1.5 miles north-west of Slade Green), washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
Before you book anyone
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Questions about Slade Green
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Erith and District Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will our hotel in Slade Green need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote before we start.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.

What else we do in Slade Green
Why act early in Slade Green
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. In Slade Green, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually 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. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Keeping Slade Green washrooms open while we work
London offices and hotels usually can’t close all their washrooms at once, which is why the work is split into phases agreed in advance. Slade Green has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Colleges such as London South East Colleges: Bexley (to the north-west of Slade Green) have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates. Customer toilets in retail centres such as Tower Retail Park, 1.3 miles to the south-west of Slade Green, rarely close, so resealing is phased.

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and look unhygienic.
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
