Washroom sealing in Fordwich
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. Most enquiries involve complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, on urinals and WCs, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Fordwich, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Community buildings around smaller places like Fordwich have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Common problems we fix in Fordwich
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
Colleges such as Canterbury College, 2.1 miles to the south-west of Fordwich, have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What site paperwork they can supply
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

Questions we are asked in Fordwich
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Saint Martin's Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Fordwich too far out for you?
No. Places such as Fordwich are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
