In student and care accommodation, there are often many near-identical bathrooms. We agree a programme and work through them in order, working around residents and staff routines. We work on student & care accommodation, welfare facilities and rental portfolios, and the jobs we see most are mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check and whole floors of tired en suites.
In a village or hamlet like Smith's Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. Somewhere as small as Smith's Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- The joints are degreased, treated and left to 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
What we are called out for in Smith's Green
Heavy use means more movement: different weights, constant use and daily cleaning. A tray that is not fully supported soon tears its seal.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
- Extraction that is not working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Smith's Green: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Stansted Airport station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Smith's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long do rooms need to be out of use?
Plan for around 24 hours, or the cure time we give for that area. Planning the order of rooms keeps that downtime manageable.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you start early or work out of hours?
Early starts and out-of-hours work can be arranged. Let us know your hours when you get in touch.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Smith's Green
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Put a squeegee in each shower
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
Add sealant checks to your planned maintenance. A quick look at each bathroom when rooms are checked spots problems early.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. The longer it’s left, the deeper it grows into the silicone, so the fix is replacement.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why deal with it now?
Fixing rooms one complaint at a time is the slow way. A planned programme works through every room, keeping disruption down and costs clear. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Smith's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
