Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Wigmore
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. Site teams most often ask us about sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wigmore 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.
Pub and restaurant kitchens around smaller places like Wigmore work hard on their joints. Sealed joints at sinks, worktops and splashbacks help keep the kitchen cleanable.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
Natural stone tops can be marked by acetoxy silicone, so the product is chosen to suit.
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Wigmore can form part of a wider programme across Medway.
On site: what to expect
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. Work in places the size of Wigmore is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Wigmore

- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
Why deal with it now?
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints even when the room is otherwise spotless. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Small buildings around Wigmore suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Common questions from Wigmore clients
Would you work within a site like Medway Maritime Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Must a hotel around Wigmore close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so facilities are never short.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Wet areas in Wigmore’s workplaces
Wigmore lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The 2 miles around Wigmore include two care or nursing homes. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
En suites at hotels like The Green Lion Hotel (to the north-east of Wigmore) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. At a retail site such as Parkwood Shopping Centre, which lies south of Wigmore, public and staff toilets see heavy use, so mouldy or split sealant is best replaced in phases. On a healthcare site such as Medway Maritime Hospital, 2.8 miles to the north-west of Wigmore, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
