About our washroom sealing in Swallowfield
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Most enquiries involve failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and a new bead over an old one coming away, on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Swallowfield is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller places such as Swallowfield still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Swallowfield: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Swallowfield outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Berkshire Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and 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, which is what makes a joint last.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Swallowfield, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right 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.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

When to call us in Swallowfield
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 soon lets go.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Royal Berkshire Hospital, 5 miles to the north of Swallowfield, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
How the job changes by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
IPS and cubicle panels
Panel systems meet walls, floors and vanity tops at sealed joints. They stop water reaching the panel boards.
Quoting for work in Swallowfield
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
