Surface by surface

Basins and vanity tops
Natural stone tops can be marked by acetoxy silicone and we choose a neutral-cure grade for them.
Washroom sealing in Westwood
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. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. The enquiries we see most involve sealant stained black around basins and showers and users noticing mouldy joints, on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Westwood is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
A place of Westwood’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. They don’t need a big crew, but they do need old sealant fully cut out before anti-mould silicone goes on.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Do you need washroom sealing in Westwood?
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Look out for the following:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
Units at estates like Westwood Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the east of Westwood, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Also in Westwood
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Westwood need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- 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.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
Quoting for work in Westwood
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Westwood
Westwood sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. The 2 miles around Westwood include six care or nursing homes. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs.
For a hotel such as Former 'Man Of Kent' Temperance Hotel, 1.2 miles north of Westwood, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital, 0.7 miles north of Westwood, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

Why it’s worth doing now in Westwood
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours which costs more to fix than a reseal. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do hotels near Westwood have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
