About our washroom sealing in Woodham Ferrers

In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant behind washroom basins and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, across kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles. Most enquiries from Woodham Ferrers 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 Woodham Ferrers, 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 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

When it isn’t the sealant

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Water from plumbing, not from a joint
  • Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
  • A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working

Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Kitchens and tea points
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Urinals and WCs
  • Vanity units and basins

Owners, agents and contractors

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Woodham Ferrers. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

Your questions answered

Must every washroom in our Woodham Ferrers building shut while you work?

Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.

Is a hospital such as Baddow 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.

Do you work in Woodham Ferrers?

Yes. We cover Woodham Ferrers, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Are you insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Will you come and look before quoting?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

How many days will you need on site?

That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas

The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:

  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Access and working height
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

What we need to price the job

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • Access details, including height
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Our process

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Woodham Ferrers are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

  1. Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
  2. The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
  3. The whole of the old bead is removed.
  4. Joints are degreased and dried.
  5. New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. Rooms reopen after the cure time.

Before we start on site

  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Move anything stored against the joints
