Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Washroom sealing in Southwood, done properly
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. If you have sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, we can put it right, on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors alike.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
When something else is needed
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:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Keeping Southwood washrooms open while we work
At about 34 miles from central London, Southwood is within reach of the capital, within the office belt around the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, which is why the work is phased. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Southwood. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
At a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital (2.2 miles west of Southwood), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. For a hall at a building such as St John the Baptist, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. Office washrooms on sites such as Southwood Business Park (to the east of Southwood) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.

FAQs: Southwood
Is a hospital such as Fleet Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Farnborough College of Technology?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
