Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Tickleback Row

Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. We work on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and shower tray joints that have opened up. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Tickleback Row first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.

Community buildings around smaller places like Tickleback Row have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.

Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Sanitary sealant for Tickleback Row buildings

At about 29 miles from central London, Tickleback Row is within reach of the capital, within the office belt around the capital. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.

On a healthcare site such as Heatherwood Hospital, 3.9 miles to the south-east of Tickleback Row, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. For a hall at a building such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

Our process

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. If others near Tickleback Row need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
  2. The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
  3. The whole of the old bead is removed.
  4. Joints are degreased and dried.
  5. New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. Each area is handed back when ready.

Getting the site ready

  • Flag any permit to work we will need
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Let building users know which areas are affected

Building owners, agents and FMs in Tickleback Row

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

When to bring in a specialist

Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Tickleback Row

Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
  • Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
  • Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
  • Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant

Colleges such as Newbold College of Higher Education, 2 miles to the south-west of Tickleback Row, have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.

What your quote should include

  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

When it isn’t the sealant

Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

  • Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
  • Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
  • A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working

If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Kitchens and tea points
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Vanity units and basins
  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Urinals and WCs

How the job changes by surface

Urinals and WC pans

The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. They are checked with everything else.

Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints

Changing rooms and accessible showers often have wet floors so the edges are checked carefully.

FAQs: Tickleback Row

Is Tickleback Row too far out for you?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Can you work on a hospital site such as Heatherwood Hospital?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.

How do you choose the sealant?

If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?

Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.

Does the weather affect the work?

Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

How much does the work cost?

We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
