Why it’s worth doing now in Wickham Bishops
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. For buildings around smaller places like Wickham Bishops, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Washroom sealing in Wickham Bishops
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have a new bead over an old one coming away and failed sealant behind washroom basins, we can help, on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wickham Bishops first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller places such as Wickham Bishops 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Wickham Bishops need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- 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.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.

Questions about Wickham Bishops
Will all the washrooms in our Wickham Bishops building be closed at once?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Will our hotel in Wickham Bishops need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Do you need washroom sealing in Wickham Bishops?
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
For an occupier at a site such as The Causeway Industrial Estate, 2.8 miles south of Wickham Bishops, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The site address and postcode
- Any specification or named product
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
