Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Stoughton
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. The enquiries we see most involve stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Most enquiries from Stoughton 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 Stoughton, hospitality kitchens and toilets see heavy use in busy spells. Smooth, sealed joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding make cleaning easier.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Work in places the size of Stoughton is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- 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.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Your questions answered
Does a hotel in Stoughton need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Surrey?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will 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.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
When to call us in Stoughton
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- A new bead over an old one coming away
Units at estates like Cathedral Hill Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles south of Stoughton, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How joint depth will be controlled
