Advice
Places near Groombridge
What else we do in Groombridge
Do you need washroom sealing in Groombridge?
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Look out for the following:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
For a school such as Groombridge St Thomas' Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates.
What to look for in a quote
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply
Different surfaces, different methods
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and make the room look neglected.
Questions we are asked in Groombridge
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Keeping Groombridge washrooms open while we work
Central London is about 29 miles from Groombridge, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, which is why the work is phased.
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons, 3.7 miles to the north-east of Groombridge, are easiest to reseal during vacations. Halls linked to places like Church of St Thomas the Apostle host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

- Travel to remote or island sites

- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
