How the job changes by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant and we flag that beforehand.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Workhouse Hill
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. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are urinal joints that look unhygienic and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Workhouse Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Workhouse Hill, 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. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Your questions answered
Will the toilets in our Workhouse Hill building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Cygnet Hospital Colchester?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Is Workhouse Hill in your area?
Yes. Workhouse Hill is in our area. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Workhouse Hill, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
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 fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Do you need washroom sealing in Workhouse Hill?
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
For a school such as Boxted St Peter's Church of England School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
