Washroom sealing across South Street

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Quoting for work in South Street

Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:

  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Distance, for remote addresses
  • Access and working height
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

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.

Before you send an enquiry

The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:

  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • When you need the work done

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

How we handle washroom sealing in South Street

Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins, and what we’re called in for most is mould spotting along silicone joints and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in South Street is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like South Street have busy toilets and kitchens. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we will plan around them.

We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around South Street

Central London is about 47 miles from South Street. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.

Schools such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. For a hall at a building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. Clinical washrooms at sites like Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr, 5.7 miles to the east of South Street, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.

When to bring in a specialist

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Why deal with it now?

Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Around South Street, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Why us?

  • Colours confirmed for the specified product
  • CSCS-carded applicators
  • CHAS accredited
  • A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

Commercial clients in South Street

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

What sealant work can’t fix

Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:

  • Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
  • Condensation from failed extract fans
  • A dripping waste or valve behind a panel

Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Urinals and WCs
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Vanity units and basins
  • Kitchens and tea points

Questions we are asked in South Street

Do we have to close all our washrooms in South Street for resealing?

Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Can weather delay the job?

It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

Can you handle several sites?

Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?

Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so there are always rooms open.
