When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
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.

Washroom sealing in Higham, done properly
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. If you’re dealing with gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, we can help, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs alike. Most enquiries from Higham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller places such as Higham still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Higham
Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Higham off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
When to call us in Higham
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
For a campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester, 3.5 miles south-east of Higham, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Converted and older buildings near places like Higham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
