How we handle washroom sealing in The Hale
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we are called in for most is sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in The Hale, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Washrooms in London offices, hotels and gyms are used hard from morning to evening. Mouldy or split sealant at vanity tops, IPS panels and urinals is replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone, in phases so some facilities stay open.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
Common problems we fix in The Hale
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Users noticing mouldy joints
For centre management at a site such as Broadwalk Centre (0.8 miles south-west of The Hale), washroom work is planned around footfall.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Wet areas in The Hale’s workplaces
The area within 2 miles of The Hale holds a number of 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. A London building with hundreds of occupants can’t lose every washroom for a day, so we take one block of facilities out of use at a time.
Healthcare estates like Edgware Community Hospital (1 mile south-west of The Hale) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. For an occupier at a site such as Mill Hill Industrial Estate, 1 mile south-east of The Hale, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

What else we do in The Hale
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- 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.
Getting the site ready

Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Different surfaces, different methods
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
FAQs: The Hale
Can work at a site such as Middlesex University fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on jobs in The Hale where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
