Common problems we fix in Capel-le-Ferne
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Users noticing mouldy joints
At a hospital like Royal Victoria Hospital (2.1 miles south-west of Capel-le-Ferne), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

Washroom sealing in Capel-le-Ferne
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. If you have resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and panel joints letting water behind, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.

Your questions answered
Do hotels near Capel-le-Ferne have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can work at a site such as University Centre Folkestone fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in the majority of cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
