About our washroom sealing in Staple Tye
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, 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. Most enquiries involve discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and users noticing mouldy joints, across IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins. Most enquiries from Staple Tye start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around Staple Tye, washroom work normally comes one building at a time. A list and photos let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Why act early in Staple Tye
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. For buildings in places like Staple Tye, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

How the job changes by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing and we’ll point out any we see.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath, and we’ll say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Wet areas in Staple Tye’s workplaces
Staple Tye lies roughly 19 miles out from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Staple Tye. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
Clinical washrooms at sites like Princess Alexandra Hospital (to the north of Staple Tye) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. For a college such as Harlow College, which lies north of Staple Tye, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.

Questions about Staple Tye
Can you work on a hospital site such as Princess Alexandra Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Harlow College for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is Staple Tye in your area?
Yes. We cover Staple Tye, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
When to call us in Staple Tye
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Users noticing mouldy joints
For a hotel such as Park Inn Hotel (1.4 miles east of Staple Tye), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a site in Staple Tye, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Arrange parking or a loading space
