About our washroom sealing in Upper Pond Street
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. 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. If you have mould spotting along silicone joints and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Upper Pond Street from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Halls and community buildings near places like Upper Pond Street are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
What the job involves on each surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
Changing rooms and gyms
We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a building around Upper Pond Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.
Questions about Upper Pond Street
Is Upper Pond Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Upper Pond Street for resealing?
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’ll tell you how long for the product used.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
