FAQs: Guston
Can work at a site such as East Kent College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does a hotel in Guston need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Washroom sealing in Guston, done properly
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you have sealant stained black around basins and showers and users noticing mouldy joints, we can help, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Guston tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Community buildings around smaller places like Guston have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.

Washroom sealing around Guston: what changes locally
Guston lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Guston. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
Pupil toilets at schools like Duke of York's Royal Military School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal. At a college such as East Kent College, 1.8 miles to the south of Guston, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
Common problems we fix in Guston
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
For a hall at a building such as Church of St Martin of Tours, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Stained or split joints here trap smells and make the room look neglected.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen work can be phased around service. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life over time.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
