Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Borden
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We are fully insured. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on urinals and WCs, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are panel joints letting water behind and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Borden, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Borden, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Busy facilities in and around Borden
Borden is about 36 miles from central London. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open. Borden has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
For a hotel such as The Bull Hotel, 1.4 miles east of Borden, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. Toilets at colleges like Sittingbourne College, 0.5 miles to the east of Borden, take heavy use from students and staff alike. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital (to the east of Borden) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
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 signage stays in place until that time.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Borden
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and your cleaning team stops chasing it. Around Borden, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

FAQs: Borden
Is Borden too far out for you?
Not at all. Borden is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For a building around Borden, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
