Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. 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. Planning a London job such as one in Whitechapel starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Whitechapel
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally 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 once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. Site teams most often ask us about resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and mould spotting along silicone joints, on vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Whitechapel first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Washrooms in London offices, hotels and gyms are used hard from morning to evening. We cut out tired sealant around vanity units, cubicles, IPS panels and showers and lay fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone, a block of facilities at a time.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: 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.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Note failing joints building by building
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
Surface by surface
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed and any permits the site uses.

Your questions answered
Will you work in a care home in Whitechapel without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you take on jobs in Whitechapel where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, 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. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
