Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified

The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

Washroom sealing in Appledore Heath
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and sealant stained black around basins and showers, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Appledore Heath tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Community buildings around smaller places like Appledore Heath have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Appledore Heath
Appledore Heath is about 49 miles from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
For a hall at a building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. Hotels such as The Swan Hotel (0.8 miles south of Appledore Heath) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Appledore Heath is about 8 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN26, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Appledore Heath is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for washrooms and wet areas. Brighton is covered too, around 42 miles from Appledore Heath.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. For buildings around smaller places like Appledore Heath, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Common questions from Appledore Heath clients
Is Appledore Heath too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Appledore Heath for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Note failing joints building by building
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Appledore Heath, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
