Signs you need washroom sealing in Fordcombe
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Student showers at universities like Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons (to the east of Fordcombe) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.

About our washroom sealing in Fordcombe
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. Site teams most often ask us about complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, across showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins. For commercial sealant work in Fordcombe, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like Fordcombe have busy toilets and kitchens. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Fordcombe are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Related advice
Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Kent and Sussex Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. For buildings around smaller places like Fordcombe, 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.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Commercial washrooms in Fordcombe
At about 27 miles from central London, Fordcombe is within reach of the capital, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.
Pupil toilets at schools like Fordcombe Church of England Primary School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of St Peter, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.

Different surfaces, different methods
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant, and we survey them together.
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
