How we handle commercial sealant in Shortlands
Mouldy or split sealant in a commercial building causes more than a bad impression. It’s a cleaning problem, a leak risk and something guests and staff notice. We reseal bathrooms, washrooms, welfare areas and kitchens so they look cared for again. If you have silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor and black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms, we can help.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Shortlands can’t close.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

How the job changes by surface
Hotel bathrooms
Hotel showers and baths get used and cleaned every day, so we use anti-fungal sanitary silicone and finish joints smooth for easy cleaning.
Office washrooms & kitchens
Kitchen and tea point joints are degreased and resealed, with a food-safe product beside sinks where needed.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
Keep the extraction running and maintained. In internal bathrooms, a weak or broken fan lets moisture linger, and that’s what keeps mould away.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, so the fix is replacement.
Why deal with it now?
First impressions are often made in the washroom. Black sealant makes a clean room look dirty, and cleaning rarely puts it right. Replacing it does. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Shortlands, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Your questions about commercial sealant in Shortlands
Do you work in hotels near Shortlands?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shortlands station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you provide RAMS?
We are fully insured, and we’ll go through your site’s requirements with you. We will confirm what we can supply when we quote.
When can guests or staff use the shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical for sanitary silicone. We tell your team the cure time for every area.
Is out-of-hours working possible?
Early starts and out-of-hours work can be arranged. Let us know your hours when you get in touch.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms.

- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- New sealant suited to each area is applied and tooled.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
