About our washroom sealing in Thornton Heath
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. If you have a new bead over an old one coming away and mould spotting along silicone joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Thornton Heath from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Questions we are asked in Thornton Heath
Do you take on jobs in Thornton Heath where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Will our hotel in Thornton Heath need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Failed sealant in a building in Thornton Heath can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
Do you need washroom sealing in Thornton Heath?
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
Customer toilets in retail centres such as Whitgift Centre, 1.7 miles to the south of Thornton Heath, rarely close, so resealing is phased.

Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
