Commercial & hotel sealant in Great Leighs, Essex
We cover Great Leighs for sealant work for offices, hotels, washrooms and commercial buildings. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Sealant failing again soon after quick repairs
- Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
- Mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking shower in a hotel room or flat above can damage the ceiling below. That means a second room out of use and a repair to pay for. A reseal now avoids that. Around Great Leighs, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Signs you need commercial sealant in Great Leighs
A hotel shower or office washroom is used many times a day, and daily cleaning with strong chemicals wears sealant down. So the silicone ages faster than it would at home.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
Managing a site like Great Leighs Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Leave squeegees in busy showers
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
- Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
A squeegee in each shower is a simple help: walls and trays dry faster, and so does the sealant.
Water from a failed shower seal can travel: into ceilings below, walls next door and service voids. Dealing with the joint early stops that spread.

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
