About our washroom sealing in Farthingloe
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we’re called in for most is mould spotting along silicone joints and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels. Most enquiries from Farthingloe 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.
Smaller places such as Farthingloe still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould typically can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Commercial clients in Farthingloe
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Farthingloe can form part of a wider programme.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.

Washroom sealing around Farthingloe: points for this area
Farthingloe is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The area within 2 miles of Farthingloe holds plenty of hotels. 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 campus such as University Centre Folkestone, which lies south-west of Farthingloe, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. For buildings on a site such as White Cliffs Business Park, which lies north-east of Farthingloe, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week. Toilets at colleges like East Kent College (1.7 miles north-east of Farthingloe) take heavy use from students and staff alike.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen work can be phased around service. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath, and we will say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Questions we are asked in Farthingloe
Can work at a site such as University Centre Folkestone fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Farthingloe off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Farthingloe can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
