Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Kingsnorth
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, 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. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and open joints at the base of cubicle panels.

Different surfaces, different methods
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
Wet areas in Kingsnorth’s workplaces

Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible.

Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we work a block of facilities at a time.

When to call us in Kingsnorth
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
For a school such as The Hundred of Hoo Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates.

Kingsnorth: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Medway Maritime Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich - Medway?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
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. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
