- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

About our washroom sealing in Southchurch
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: 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 vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and split or peeling sealant at shower trays. For commercial sealant work in Southchurch, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Jobs in a smaller place such as Southchurch are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. A list and photographs let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Southchurch: questions and answers
Is Southchurch off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Southchurch?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in most cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. What matters most for a job in Southchurch is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
What we need from you

Advice
Surface by surface
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. We include them in the survey.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.
Keeping Southchurch washrooms open while we work
Southchurch sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Southchurch has a good number of 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.
For a site such as Wellesley Hospital (1 mile north-west of Southchurch), sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. En suites at hotels like Camelia Hotel, 0.8 miles south of Southchurch, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Essex, 1.1 miles to the west of Southchurch, are easiest to reseal during vacations.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
