About our commercial sealant in Patching
In student and care accommodation, there are often many near-identical bathrooms. A room-by-room programme keeps the job organised, fitting around residents and staff. If you have tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit and failed joints in office kitchens and tea points, we can help, whatever the surface.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Patching have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Rental portfolios
Good sealant prevents leaks that cause bigger repairs, especially where you rarely see the bathroom yourself.
Welfare facilities
Shower rooms in welfare blocks get heavy use and need sound joints. Anti-fungal sanitary silicone is used throughout, including accessible wet rooms.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. A visit to Patching is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- We lay the right sealant for each area, with anti-fungal silicone in wet rooms.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What commercial sealant looks like in Patching
Patching has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Chelmsford station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio.
Patching is about 1 mile north-west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Every kind of property in Patching is covered for commercial sealant. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Patching is one of 644 places in Essex we cover.
Every address in CM1 is covered for commercial sealant, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Commercial sealant is available to properties on First Avenue, Sixth Avenue and Fifth Avenue and the roads around them. With the A1016 close by, Patching is easy for our applicators to reach for commercial sealant. Close by, we work in Chelmsford (1 mile south-east), Broomfield (2 miles north), Moulsham (2 miles south), Chignall St James (2 miles west) and Writtle (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Basildon (12 miles south), Braintree (10 miles north-east), Harlow (15 miles west), Brentwood (11 miles south-west), Maldon (9 miles east) and Billericay (9 miles south).
Around Patching

The nearest railway station is Chelmsford station, roughly 1 mile south. A little further out are Bond Street Chelmsford (1.2 miles south) and Priory Hospital (1 mile south-east). Open spaces near Patching include Newland Grove.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
FAQs for Patching
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Patching?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chelmsford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

Signs you need commercial sealant in Patching
Heavy use means more movement: people of all sizes, daily cleaning and constant loading all work at the joint. If a tray flexes, the sealant around it splits.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants
- Repeated reseals that don’t last
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John Payne Catholic School, busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.

How we quote for commercial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
Why it’s worth doing now in Patching
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. Homes in smaller places like Patching can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
