Commercial sealant for homes and businesses in Friar's Wash
Hotel bathrooms take hard daily use and constant cleaning, so sealant wears out faster than it would at home. Rooms are resealed in batches, so only a few are out of use at once, with a cure time for each room so housekeeping know when to release it. Typical jobs include washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned and split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks, on retail & leisure sites, hotel bathrooms and rental portfolios.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Friar's Wash, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Friar's Wash and across Hertfordshire.

Questions from Friar's Wash
Do you cover smaller places like Friar's Wash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Friar's Wash for commercial sealant?
Yes, Friar's Wash is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Does commercial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job and are fully insured.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you work outside opening hours?
Early starts and out-of-hours work can be arranged. Tell us what you need when you ask for a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Why act early in Friar's Wash
Refitting a washroom is a big, disruptive project. If the fittings are in good order, new sealant is often all it needs. We will tell you if we find anything that needs another trade. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Friar's Wash, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why Friar's Wash clients choose us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Colour picked to suit the job

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
- Note the date each area was done
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
Ask staff to report splits or lifting sealant early. A small gap caught quickly is a short fix.
Water from a failed shower seal can travel: into ceilings below, walls next door and service voids. Early resealing keeps it from getting that far.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What the job involves on each surface
Hotel bathrooms
Hotel showers and baths get used and cleaned every day, so joints are finished smooth and sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Office washrooms & kitchens
A row of basins on a vanity top has a long joint that collects water. We renew it in one tidy, continuous bead.

Signs you need commercial sealant in Friar's Wash
A hotel shower or office washroom is used many times a day, and they’re cleaned with strong products every day. So the silicone ages faster than it would at home.
Look out for any of the following:
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
- Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
Managing a site like Flamstead Village School? Then sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Friar's Wash, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we’ll plan the programme.
- 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.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealant elsewhere.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
