About our washroom sealing in Five Wents
Whether it’s a single toilet block in Five Wents or a programme across several buildings, we work the same way: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote and a site visit is an option. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins, and what we are called in for most is kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Five Wents it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Five Wents, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Sealant that has gone black with mould usually can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Wet areas in Five Wents’s workplaces
Five Wents lies roughly 35 miles out from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
For an occupier at a site such as Park Wood Trading Estate, 1.4 miles north-west of Five Wents, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

Toilets at colleges like Kent Police College, 2.2 miles north-west of Five Wents, take heavy use from students and staff alike.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
Why deal with it now?
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed while bigger works are planned. For buildings around smaller places like Five Wents, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

What affects the price in Five Wents
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Questions we are asked in Five Wents
Can you work on a hospital site such as KIMS hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Canterbury Christ Church University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
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 confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in most cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Surface by surface
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen work can be phased around service. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. They stop water reaching the panel boards.
