Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Hackington can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.

Advice
Washroom sealing in Hackington
In a commercial washroom, sealant is normally the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. Site teams most often ask us about gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and panel joints letting water behind, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles. For commercial sealant work in Hackington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller places such as Hackington still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould usually can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
Common questions from Hackington clients
Is a hospital such as Saint Martin's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Kent?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
Do you work in Hackington?
Yes. We cover Hackington. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
