Toilets, showers and kitchens around Hollingbourne
At about 36 miles from central London, Hollingbourne is within reach of the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
At a university such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 1.6 miles east of Hollingbourne, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. Office washrooms on sites such as Roebuck Business Park (to the south-east of Hollingbourne) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.

Washroom sealing in Hollingbourne, done properly
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and sealant lifting along a tray edge. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hollingbourne, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like Hollingbourne have busy toilets and kitchens. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we’ll plan around them.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Hollingbourne: questions and answers
Is Hollingbourne too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University fit around teaching?
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 about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
The work is phased so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around Hollingbourne can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Hollingbourne. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When to call us in Hollingbourne
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and sealant joints trap all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
At a school such as Hollingbourne Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
