Washroom sealing in Fant, done properly
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. The enquiries we see most involve a new bead over an old one coming away and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, across kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Most enquiries from Fant start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around places like Fant, hospitality kitchens and toilets see heavy use in busy spells. Smooth, sealed joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding make cleaning easier.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Fant clients
Is Fant too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Fant are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will our hotel in Fant need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Before we quote, we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Work in places the size of Fant is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- 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.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Fant. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Fant
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.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Toilets at colleges like MidKent College Maidstone Campus (to the north-east of Fant) take heavy use from students and staff alike.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
Stone and some composite tops need a neutral-cure sealant, so the product is chosen to suit.
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
