Common questions in Workhouse Hill
Can you do commercial sealant in Workhouse Hill?
Yes, Workhouse Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Workhouse Hill?
Yes, Workhouse Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does commercial sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
How soon can a room be used after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We give a cure time for each area.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you start early or work out of hours?
It can be arranged. The hours are agreed before work starts.
What does commercial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Leave it or put it right?
Refitting a washroom is a big, disruptive project. If the fittings are in good order, new sealant is often all it needs. We’ll tell you if we find anything that needs another trade. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Workhouse Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why Workhouse Hill customers choose us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Signs you need commercial sealant in Workhouse Hill
In office kitchens and tea points, joints are wet and wiped all day, and grease and cleaning sprays break down sealant. The worktop and sink edges usually fail first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Joints that need doing before an inspection or audit
- Whole floors of tired en suites
- Water marks on ceilings under bathrooms
- Tired sealant in let properties
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Workhouse Hill and across Essex. Several sites can be quoted together.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building. In a small place like Workhouse Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- Joints are cleaned, treated for mould and dried.
- We lay the right sealant for each area, with anti-fungal silicone in wet rooms.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan resealing around quiet periods
- Keep strong chemicals and scourers off the joints
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
A squeegee in each shower is a simple help: walls and trays dry faster, and so does the sealant.
It’s easier to plan a programme than to react to failures. Rooms can be scheduled around occupancy and staff, instead of rooms closing without warning.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing
- Faulty shower valves and leaking traps
- Extraction that isn’t working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
