Advice
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements as well as site permits.
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and make the room look neglected.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need washroom sealing in Springfield?
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Panel joints letting water behind
If you manage an office at a site such as Hedgerows Business Park, which lies north of Springfield, the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time.

At about 31 miles from central London, Springfield is within reach of the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open. The area within 2 miles of Springfield holds several hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Priory Hospital Chelmsford, 0.9 miles to the west of Springfield, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules. At a university such as Anglia Ruskin University, 1.6 miles to the west of Springfield, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.

Springfield: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Priory Hospital Chelmsford?
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.
Do hotels near Springfield have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
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.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
