About our washroom sealing in Thakeham
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. 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. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels. Searching for sealant specialists in Thakeham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Thakeham, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

Questions about Thakeham
Must a hotel around Thakeham close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Will all the washrooms in our Thakeham building be closed at once?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
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.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Sanitary sealant for Thakeham buildings
The area within 2 miles of Thakeham holds several hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest. Thakeham is about 41 miles from central London. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
For a hall at a building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. Pupil toilets at schools like Rydon Community College take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Thakeham
Leave it or put it right?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Converted and older buildings near places like Thakeham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building around Thakeham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- 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
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Related advice
Do you need washroom sealing in Thakeham?
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 peels away quickly.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Users noticing mouldy joints
For buildings on a site such as Crays Court (business park), which lies north-east of Thakeham, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.
