About our washroom sealing in Folkestone
Whether it’s a single toilet block in Folkestone or a programme across several buildings, the route is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. The enquiries we see most involve split or peeling sealant at shower trays and open joints along basins and vanity units, on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Folkestone, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a town such as Folkestone, commercial washrooms are in schools, care homes, surgeries, gyms, offices and pubs. Anti-mould sanitary silicone, laid on clean, dry joints, keeps them looking cared for and easy to clean.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Note failing joints building by building
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Common problems we fix in Folkestone
Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
At a hotel such as The Park Inn Hotel, which lies south-east of Folkestone, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.

- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Keeping Folkestone washrooms open while we work
Folkestone lies within about 1 mile of the sea, 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, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Folkestone lies roughly 62 miles out from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
Toilets at colleges like Folkestone College, less than half a mile south of Folkestone, take heavy use from students and staff alike. Customer toilets and staff facilities at retail sites such as Town Walk Shopping Centre, 0.6 miles south-east of Folkestone, need sealant that stays clean under heavy use.
Folkestone is in Kent. We send applicators to Folkestone for washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Folkestone is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for washrooms and wet areas. We also cover Brighton, some 59 miles away.
Anyone looking for washroom sealing in CT20, CT19 and CT21 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Main routes into Folkestone include the A259 and A260, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job.

What else we do in Folkestone
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Quoting for work in Folkestone
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

- Whether an asbestos survey exists
