About our washroom sealing in Herne Bay
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. If you have open joints along basins and vanity units and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Herne Bay from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Schools in towns like Herne Bay usually want washrooms and changing rooms done in the holidays, whereas care homes and offices typically need a few rooms at a time. Let us know your opening times and any access limits, and we’ll work to them.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles

Signs you need washroom sealing in Herne Bay
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Look out for the following:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
At a hotel such as The Pier Hotel, 0.6 miles to the north-west of Herne Bay, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.

Busy facilities in and around Herne Bay
Herne Bay lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Herne Bay. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
Halls linked to places like Christ Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. Office washrooms on sites such as Eddington Business Park, 0.6 miles south-west of Herne Bay, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.
Herne Bay is about 7 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. We send applicators to Herne Bay for washrooms and wet areas. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Herne Bay among them. We also cover London, around 54 miles from Herne Bay.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. In a town such as Herne Bay, most jobs are single buildings. Your photographs, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
FAQs: Herne Bay
Would you work within a site like Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will our hotel in Herne Bay need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work in Herne Bay?
Yes. Herne Bay falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
