Washroom sealing for St John Street area sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the job changes by surface

A panel that has already swollen won’t be fixed by sealant, and any we come across will be pointed out.
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. We include them in the survey.
How we handle washroom sealing in St John Street area
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. If you have users noticing mouldy joints and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in St John Street area tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a smaller place such as St John Street area, commercial washrooms tend to be in schools, pubs, cafés, surgeries, care homes and sports clubs. They don’t need a big crew, but they do need old sealant fully cut out before anti-mould silicone goes on.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

FAQs: St John Street area
Is a smaller place like St John Street area outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Warneford Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Why act early in St John Street area
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours which costs more to fix than a reseal. In a smaller place such as St John Street area, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Advice
Doing it in-house
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.
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.
