Washroom sealing in Swinford
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Note failing joints building by building
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
Washroom sealing in Swinford, done properly
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are stained sealant around pans and urinals and open joints at the base of cubicle panels. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Swinford? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Smaller places such as Swinford 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Swinford, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What affects the price in Swinford
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. We include them in the survey.
Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints, and we survey them together.
What we are called out for in Swinford
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor at skirting lines, urinal bases and around pans.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
Halls linked to places like Church of St Leonard host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

Swinford: questions and answers
Is Swinford off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Swinford?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Usually not. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
