What happens if it’s left?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed for now. Older rural buildings around Thornborough 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, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Constructionline member
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

About our washroom sealing in Thornborough
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. Most enquiries involve a new bead over an old one coming away and shower tray joints that have opened up, across IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Thornborough, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Thornborough, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Busy facilities in and around Thornborough
Thornborough lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
For a hall at a building such as Church of St Mary, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. Office toilets at parks like Greenway Business Park, 2.6 miles to the south-east of Thornborough, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. You can also send details through our quote form.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Buckingham for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Thornborough off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Do you need washroom sealing in Thornborough?
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Buckingham Community Hospital (to the west of Thornborough) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.
What to look for in a quote
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Thornborough are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
