Washroom sealing in St Lawrence
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs, and the failures we are asked to look at most are mould spotting along silicone joints and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen. Most enquiries from St Lawrence start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around places like St Lawrence, hospitality kitchens and toilets see heavy use in busy spells. Sealed joints at sinks, worktops and splashbacks help keep the kitchen cleanable, using a food-safe product near food preparation.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Stained or split joints here trap smells and make the room look neglected.
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed as well as site permits.
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Commercial clients in St Lawrence
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
St Lawrence: questions and answers
Will you work in a care home in St Lawrence without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Can work at a site such as Nelson College London fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you work in St Lawrence?
Yes. We cover St Lawrence, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
How do I request 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.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. For a site in St Lawrence, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life over time.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Leave it or put it right?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. In a smaller place such as St Lawrence, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
