Common questions from Upper Brailes clients
Will the toilets in our Upper Brailes building be out of use?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ellen Badger Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
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.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Washroom sealing in Upper Brailes
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. Most enquiries involve panel joints letting water behind and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, across urinals and WCs, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors. For commercial sealant work in Upper Brailes, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like Upper Brailes have busy toilets and kitchens. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we’ll plan around them.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Washroom sealing in Upper Brailes: the local picture
For a site such as Ellen Badger Hospital, 2.9 miles west of Upper Brailes, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. For a school such as Brailes CofE Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. For an occupier at a site such as Brailes Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the south-east of Upper Brailes, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
Upper Brailes is about 9 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. We cover Upper Brailes and the rest of Oxfordshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Share your site rules when you send details
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. For buildings around smaller places like Upper Brailes, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Upper Brailes can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- 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 give you a reopening time for every room.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Arrange parking or a loading space
