Need washroom sealing in Southampton?

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:

  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • The total length or number of joints

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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Sending details for a quote

For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:

  • The postcode of the building
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Southampton

Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. Site teams most often ask us about complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, across vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors. For commercial sealant work in Southampton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

A large place such as Southampton tends to have hotels, gyms, schools, hospitals and offices, all with washrooms and wet areas. Each has joints at vanity tops, cubicles, showers and floors that mould and split in time.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Honest limits

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Condensation from failed extract fans
  • Panel boards already damaged by water
  • Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes

Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work in Southampton

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

Why act early in Southampton

A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells which costs more to fix than a reseal. A leaking joint in a commercial building in Southampton can damage stock, ceilings and finishes, and putting that right typically costs more than the reseal. It pays to act early.

Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Why us?

  • Fully insured
  • Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
  • Colour agreed before work starts
  • One number for every site we cover

When to call us in Southampton

Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.

Things that typically lead to an enquiry:

  • Open joints along basins and vanity units
  • Mould spotting along silicone joints
  • Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
  • Stained sealant around pans and urinals

Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Southampton (0.7 miles north-west of Southampton) are easiest to reseal during vacations.

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

On site: what to expect

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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Sites in a big town such as Southampton frequently have reception sign-in, inductions and permits to work. Send the site rules with your enquiry and we’ll plan to them.

  1. Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
  2. The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
  3. The whole of the old bead is removed.
  4. Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
  5. New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. Rooms reopen after the cure time.

Before we start on site

  • Arrange parking or a loading space
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Confirm the product named in the specification

Washroom sealing around Southampton: what changes locally

The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Southampton, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. The 2 miles around Southampton include five care or nursing homes. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.

Colleges such as Southampton City College, 1.1 miles south of Southampton, have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates. For a site such as Royal South Hants Hospital, which lies south of Southampton, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.

Southampton is in England. Our applicators travel to Southampton for work on washrooms and wet areas. Our Southampton coverage takes in 30 places, large and small.

If you need washroom sealing in SO19, SO16, SO15 and SO18, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Among the streets we cover are London Road, Marshall Square and Grosvenor Square. Main routes into Southampton include the A27 and A33, useful when we plan access and materials.

Your questions answered

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal South Hants Hospital?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.

Must a hotel around Southampton close while you work?

Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Is Southampton in your area?

Yes. Southampton falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Do you phase washroom resealing?

We phase it so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.

How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?

The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.

How long will the new sealant last?

Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
