Washroom sealing for Upper Burgate sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

Washroom sealing in Upper Burgate, done properly
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant behind washroom basins and sealant stained black around basins and showers, on IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and kitchens and tea points. Searching for sealant specialists in Upper Burgate? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In and around smaller places like Upper Burgate, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Upper Burgate may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

When to call us in Upper Burgate
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
Schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Common questions from Upper Burgate clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Fordingbridge Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Upper Burgate too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
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.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Burgate
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Around Upper Burgate, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
