Washroom sealing in The Flints
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in The Flints, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like The Flints, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hertfordshire. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Older rural buildings around The Flints move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

What affects the price in The Flints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
How the job changes by surface
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like The Flints are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open

Questions about The Flints
Is The Flints too far out for you?
Not at all. The Flints is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Must a hotel around The Flints close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your 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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
