Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Washroom sealing in Hersden
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. Most enquiries involve sealant lifting along a tray edge and panel joints letting water behind, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and IPS panels and cubicles. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hersden first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Pub and restaurant kitchens around smaller places like Hersden work hard on their joints. Sealed joints at sinks, worktops and splashbacks help keep the kitchen cleanable, using a food-safe product near food preparation.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a site in Hersden, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Keeping Hersden washrooms open while we work
At about 56 miles from central London, Hersden is within reach of the capital, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
Schools such as Hersden Village Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. Halls linked to places like Church of All Saints host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal

Questions about Hersden
Is Hersden too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Canterbury Christ Church University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Hersden
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Hersden can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
