How we handle washroom sealing in Broadwater Down
Whether it’s a single toilet block in Broadwater Down or a programme across several buildings, we work the same way: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. If you have black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and shower tray joints that have opened up, we can help, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and vanity units and basins alike.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a site in Broadwater Down, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints, and we survey them together.
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.
When to call us in Broadwater Down
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Hotels such as The Swan Hotel (to the north-east of Broadwater Down) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

FAQs: Broadwater Down
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Tunbridge Wells Nuffield Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Must a hotel around Broadwater Down close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Is Broadwater Down in your area?
Yes. We cover Broadwater Down, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
