What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed as well as site permits.
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. They are checked with everything else.
How we handle washroom sealing in Westmill
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. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, showers, trays and wet room floors and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints at the base of cubicle panels and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Westmill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller places such as Westmill still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Westmill 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 Westmill
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
For an occupier at a site such as Watermill Industrial Estate (1 mile north of Westmill), the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Common questions from Westmill clients
Will the toilets in our Westmill 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.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Westmill?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. 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 Westmill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Westmill can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
