Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Sydenham
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
For a hall at a building such as Church of St Mary, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

How we handle washroom sealing in Sydenham
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. If you are dealing with black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can help, on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles alike. Most enquiries from Sydenham 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.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Sydenham, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we’ll plan around them.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Sydenham can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice

Common questions from Sydenham clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Thame Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Must every washroom in our Sydenham building shut while you work?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells which costs more to fix than a reseal. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Sydenham, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
