Washroom sealing in Knave's Ash
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Rural sites near Knave's Ash may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached

How the job changes by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Resealing early protects the unit.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Why it’s worth doing now in Knave's Ash
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Knave's Ash, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- CHAS accredited
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Knave's Ash
Knave's Ash is within about 3 miles of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Knave's Ash lies roughly 55 miles out from central London. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of the Holy Cross, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. For buildings on a site such as Chislet Business Park, 1 mile south-east of Knave's Ash, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week. At a school such as Hoath Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
Knave's Ash is about 2 miles south of Herne Bay, in Kent. Across the CT3 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Knave's Ash.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Common questions from Knave's Ash clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Knave's Ash too small for you to travel to?
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.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
