Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Share your site rules when you send details
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.

What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed and any permits the site uses.
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Kirby-le-Soken
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
For a hall at a building such as Church of St Michael, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Proof of insurance
- What site paperwork they can supply
Questions about Kirby-le-Soken
Do you work in occupied care homes around Kirby-le-Soken?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Is Kirby-le-Soken off your patch?
No. Places such as Kirby-le-Soken are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
