Washroom sealing in Thatcham
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. Site teams most often ask us about a new bead over an old one coming away and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels, on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Thatcham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Schools in towns like Thatcham usually want washrooms and changing rooms done in the holidays, while offices and care homes need phased work. Let us know your opening times and any access limits, and we will work to them.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

More services for Thatcham
Do you need washroom sealing in Thatcham?
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
Toilets at places like 9Yards Retail Park (2.1 miles west of Thatcham) are cleaned constantly, so silicone needs to be sound and smooth.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Note failing joints building by building
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. In a town such as Thatcham, a lot of buildings are older and have been altered over time, and joints where old meets new tend to fail first. Resealing them early protects the building behind.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Thatcham: questions and answers
Does a hotel in Thatcham need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
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 point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with 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.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. In a town such as Thatcham, most jobs are single buildings. Your photos, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.

Advice
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
