Washroom sealing in Appledore
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Appledore is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Community buildings around smaller places like Appledore have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Appledore
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Appledore may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send your site hours and access windows

What we’re called out for in Appledore
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Panel joints letting water behind
En suites at hotels like The Swan Hotel, under half a mile to the east of Appledore, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.

Common questions from Appledore clients
Is Appledore too small for you to travel to?
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.
Must every washroom in our Appledore building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. A full reseal deals with it and your cleaning team stops chasing it. Older rural buildings around Appledore move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
