Washroom sealing in Upper Common
In a busy washroom, the sealant typically gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. The enquiries we see most involve shower tray joints that have opened up and stained sealant around pans and urinals, on vanity units and basins, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Most enquiries from Upper Common start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Upper Common, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we will plan around them.

Do you need washroom sealing in Upper Common?
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Look out for the following:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- A new bead over an old one coming away
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (5.2 miles north of Upper Common) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Upper Common: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire 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 the toilets in our Upper Common building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The postcode of the building

- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
