Washroom sealing in Lower Higham
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. The enquiries we see most involve a new bead over an old one coming away and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, on IPS panels and cubicles, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Lower Higham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Community buildings around smaller places like Lower Higham have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to bring in a specialist
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the price in Lower Higham
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photos of the problem areas
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Sanitary sealant for Lower Higham buildings
Lower Higham lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Lower Higham is about 25 miles from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, which is why the work is phased.
Healthcare estates like French Hospital, 3.3 miles to the south-east of Lower Higham, expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. Toilets at colleges like North Kent College Gravesend Campus (to the west of Lower Higham) take heavy use from students and staff alike.
Lower Higham is about 3 miles north-west of Rochester, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Lower Higham use us for work on washrooms and wet areas, as part of our coverage of Kent. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small.

Local landmarks in Lower Higham

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Lower Higham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Related advice
When to call us in Lower Higham
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor at skirting lines, urinal bases and around pans.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Student showers at universities like University of Kent - Medway Campus, 3.8 miles south-east of Lower Higham, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.

Questions we’re asked in Lower Higham
Is Lower Higham too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Kent - Medway Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
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 checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
