Different surfaces, different methods
Healthcare and care settings

Kitchens and tea points

How we handle washroom sealing in Five Ash Down
From one staff toilet in Five Ash Down to washrooms across a whole estate, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote and a site visit is an option. We work on kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant stained black around basins and showers and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Five Ash Down from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller places such as Five Ash Down still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Common questions from Five Ash Down clients
Is Five Ash Down too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Five Ash Down are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a hotel in Five Ash Down need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.

Do you need washroom sealing in Five Ash Down?
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Panel joints letting water behind
En suites at hotels like Chequers Hotel (0.9 miles west of Five Ash Down) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
