What we are called out for in Ballards Gore
Larger buildings move, and lightweight partitions flex more than masonry. The sealant between walls, trays and fittings absorbs that strain until it tears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants
- Joints that need doing before an inspection or audit

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What affects the cost of commercial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Poor ventilation that keeps bringing mould back
- Fire risk assessments or certification
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. For a village or hamlet like Ballards Gore, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We agree a programme with you: which rooms, in what order, at what times.
- Tell us what paperwork your site needs, and we confirm what we can supply before work begins.
- In each room, the old bead comes out and the joint is cleaned and treated.
- We reseal with the right product for each joint.
- Each finished area is checked with you and given a cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Different surfaces, different methods
Welfare facilities
Shower rooms in welfare blocks get heavy use and need sound joints. Anti-fungal sanitary silicone is used throughout.
Hotel bathrooms
In a hotel, every bathroom is used and cleaned daily, so joints are finished smooth and sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
