Why act early in Tiptree
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- CSCS-carded applicators

FAQs: Tiptree
Is Tiptree too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Tiptree for resealing?
Normally only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
The work is phased so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so there are always rooms open.

For buildings on a site such as Threshelfords Business Park, 2.3 miles north-west of Tiptree, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week. For a school such as St Luke's Church of England Controlled Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. For a hall at a building such as Church of St Luke, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

What we can’t put right

- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Tiptree
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Tiptree. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
