Questions about Spencers Wood
Do hotels near Spencers Wood have to close for sealant work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Berkshire Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Washroom sealing in Spencers Wood
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: 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 showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we’re called in for most is shower tray joints that have opened up and users noticing mouldy joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Spencers Wood first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around Spencers Wood, washroom work normally comes one building at a time. A list and photographs let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why deal with it now?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. In a smaller place such as Spencers Wood, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Note failing joints building by building
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.

Common problems we fix in Spencers Wood
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Panel joints letting water behind
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus (to the north of Spencers Wood) are easiest to reseal during vacations.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their public liability cover
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
