Washroom sealing for businesses in Wherwell
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Doing it in-house
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Washroom sealing in Wherwell
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. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. We work on urinals and WCs, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms. Most enquiries from Wherwell start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Wherwell, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

FAQs: Wherwell
Is a hospital such as Andover War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will all the washrooms in our Wherwell building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Condensation from failed extract fans
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.

- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.

What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant and we look at them as one job.
Wet areas in Wherwell’s workplaces
Wherwell lies roughly 63 miles out from central London. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, which is why the work is phased.
Schools such as Wherwell Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. On a healthcare site such as Andover War Memorial Hospital, 4 miles to the north-west of Wherwell, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. For an occupier at a site such as Harewood Forest Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles to the north-east of Wherwell, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

Nearby you’ll also find Andover Museum (3.3 miles north-west) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (4 miles north-west). Not far away are Mill Lake and Anton Lakes.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.

What else we do in Wherwell
Leave it or put it right?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Wherwell. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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.
