How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around South Merstham need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- 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.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you

- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in South Merstham
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. 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, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are urinal joints that look unhygienic and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in South Merstham it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
A place of South Merstham’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions we are asked in South Merstham
Could you schedule work at a campus like Reigate College for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Will our hotel in South Merstham need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.

Different surfaces, different methods
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
What happens if it’s left?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
When to call us in South Merstham
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
Healthcare estates like East Surrey Hospital (to the south of South Merstham) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
