For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
About our washroom sealing in West Leith
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. Most enquiries involve mould spotting along silicone joints and users noticing mouldy joints, on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs. A single leaking joint is often how a building in West Leith first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like West Leith have busy toilets and kitchens. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in West Leith as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in West Leith
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
Look out for the following:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St Martha (Anglian Methodist), its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
What to look for in a quote
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
How the job changes by surface
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
Questions we’re asked in West Leith
Does a hotel in West Leith need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is West Leith too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote before we start.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Sanitary sealant for West Leith buildings
Central London is about 32 miles from West Leith. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, which is why the work is phased. West Leith has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
En suites at hotels like Rose and Crown Hotel (to the north-east of West Leith) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. Units at estates like Icknield Way Industrial Estate (to the north of West Leith) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around West Leith, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
