What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant and we flag that beforehand.
Washroom sealing in West Hoathly, done properly
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. The enquiries we see most involve gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels, on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in West Hoathly tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like West Hoathly have busy toilets and kitchens. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we will plan around them.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near West Hoathly may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Quoting for work in West Hoathly
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
West Hoathly: questions and answers
Will the toilets in our West Hoathly building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is West Hoathly off your patch?
Not at all. West Hoathly is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.

West Hoathly lies roughly 29 miles out from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.
If you manage an office at a site such as Hangdown Mead Business Park (0.8 miles south-east of West Hoathly), the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time. For a school such as West Hoathly CofE Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at St Margaret's Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
