Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Lower Hardres outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University for the Creative Arts?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
Washroom sealing in Lower Hardres, done properly
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs, and what we are called in for most is washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Lower Hardres is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Lower Hardres, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What happens if it’s left?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Older rural buildings around Lower Hardres move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Colour options checked against the specified product
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

After the work

- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
