How we handle washroom sealing in Southernden
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. If you are dealing with sealant lifting along a tray edge and users noticing mouldy joints, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Southernden it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls and community buildings near places like Southernden are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Southernden can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.

What we need from you

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
Basins and vanity tops
Natural stone tops can be marked by acetoxy silicone and we choose a neutral-cure grade for them.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Southernden. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Questions about Southernden
Is Southernden too far out for you?
Not at all. Southernden is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Southernden for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Quoting for work in Southernden
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
