Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like The Frenches are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Questions we’re asked in The Frenches
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Romsey Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will all the washrooms in our The Frenches building be closed at once?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. 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.
Is The Frenches in your area?
Yes. We cover The Frenches, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Why act early in The Frenches
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours 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 The Frenches, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why clients in The Frenches choose us

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Common problems we fix in The Frenches
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Office toilets at parks like Gardeners Business Park, 1.7 miles south-west of The Frenches, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
Comparing quotes
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What site paperwork they can supply
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
