Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in St Luke's
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and panel joints letting water behind. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in St Luke's it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a London area such as St Luke's, commercial washrooms in offices, hotels and leisure buildings see constant use. We cut out tired sealant around vanity units, cubicles, IPS panels and showers and lay fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone, a block of facilities at a time.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Washroom sealing in St Luke's: the local picture
There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of St Luke's. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest. Six care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from St Luke's. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
In a centre such as Brunswick Centre, 1.3 miles to the west of St Luke's, public washrooms are resealed a block of facilities at a time. At a university such as The University of Law (under half a mile south-east of St Luke's), summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. For buildings on a site such as Southwark Bridge Business Centre, 1.5 miles south of St Luke's, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.

How the job changes by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. They stop water reaching the panel boards.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached

What affects the price in St Luke's
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.

Other services in St Luke's
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. St Luke's can form part of a wider programme across Greater London.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs

- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
St Luke's: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road campus) somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like The University of Law?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in most cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
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.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
