What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- IPS panels and cubicles

- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
How we handle washroom sealing in The Sands
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. If you have a new bead over an old one coming away and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in The Sands tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Community buildings around smaller places like The Sands have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Questions we are asked in The Sands
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University for the Creative Arts?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like The Sands outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
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.
Leave it or put it right?
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Converted and older buildings near places like The Sands tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Advice
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
