Washroom sealing in East Malling, done properly
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. If you have panel joints letting water behind and shower tray joints that have opened up, we can put it right, on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in East Malling, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Pub and restaurant kitchens around smaller places like East Malling work hard on their joints. Sealed joints at sinks, worktops and splashbacks help keep the kitchen cleanable.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Keeping East Malling washrooms open while we work
East Malling has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs. At about 27 miles from central London, East Malling is within reach of the capital, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
Halls linked to places like Church of St James host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. At a hospital like Maidstone Hospital (2.6 miles south-east of East Malling), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. For a campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone, 3.2 miles to the south-east of East Malling, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.
East Malling is about 4 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout East Malling, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, East Malling among them. Sites around London have their own page, about 27 miles away.

East Malling: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Maidstone Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like East Malling outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Different surfaces, different methods
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing and we’ll point out any we see.
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Share your site rules when you send details
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Several jobs near East Malling can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
