Washroom sealing for Temple Bar sites

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Doing it in-house

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Washroom sealing in Temple Bar, done properly

Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you are dealing with panel joints letting water behind and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, we can help, on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points alike. For commercial sealant work in Temple Bar, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

In a London area such as Temple Bar, commercial washrooms in offices, hotels and leisure buildings see constant use. We cut out tired sealant around vanity units, cubicles, IPS panels and showers and lay fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone, a block of facilities at a time.

The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What sealant work can’t fix

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

  • A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
  • Vanity carcasses that have swollen
  • Water from plumbing, not from a joint

If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work in Temple Bar

  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Urinals and WCs
  • Vanity units and basins
  • Kitchens and tea points

Temple Bar: questions and answers

Can work at a site such as King's College London fit around teaching?

Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.

Does a hotel in Temple Bar 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.

Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?

Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.

Is there a guarantee on the work?

Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.

Which sealant will you use?

The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.

Do you cover Temple Bar?

Yes. We take on work across Temple Bar, with one number for every area we cover.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and we clear our waste as we work. For a job in Temple Bar, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.

  1. We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
  2. We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
  3. Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
  4. We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
  5. We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
  6. Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.

What we need from you

  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Let building users know which areas are affected

When to call us in Temple Bar

We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Failed sealant behind washroom basins
  • Urinal joints that look unhygienic
  • Sealant lifting along a tray edge
  • Users noticing mouldy joints

Healthcare washrooms on sites such as St Bartholomew's Hospital (to the north-east of Temple Bar) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

Before you book anyone

  • Their public liability cover
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

Our contractor checklist

Washroom sealing in Temple Bar: the local picture

There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Temple Bar. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. In London buildings, toilets and showers generally need to stay partly open, so we phase the work core by core or floor by floor with the building manager.

In a centre such as Brunswick Centre, 0.9 miles north-west of Temple Bar, public washrooms are resealed a block of facilities at a time. For an occupier at a site such as Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles south-east of Temple Bar, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

Temple Bar is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in Greater London. We cover commercial sites throughout Temple Bar, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places.

If you need washroom sealing in WC2B, WC2E and EC1N, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. If your site is on Shoe Lane, Drury Lane and New Square or close by, send details and we will quote for washrooms and wet areas. Being close to the A4 and A40, Temple Bar is easy to get to with materials and equipment. We also cover Temple (1 mile south), Clare Market (1 mile west), Aldwych (1 mile west), Blackfriars (1 mile east) and Covent Garden (1 mile west) for washrooms and wet areas. A short drive away, we cover Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west), Brompton (3 miles south-west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).

After the work

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:

  • Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
  • Leave signs up until the cure time is over
  • Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
  • Inspect washroom sealant regularly

We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.

Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.

What sets the cost

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:

  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • The total length or number of joints

There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Sending details for a quote

The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:

  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • Any dates the work must fit around
  • What the building is and how it’s used

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
