Washroom sealing in Lower Upnor
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. The enquiries we see most involve black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and open joints along basins and vanity units, across kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lower Upnor first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Lower Upnor, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we’ll plan around them.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Commercial washrooms in Lower Upnor
With the shore within about 2 miles, Lower Upnor counts as a coastal location, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Central London is about 27 miles from Lower Upnor. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
On an industrial estate such as Pier Road Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the south-east of Lower Upnor, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear. Customer toilets in retail centres such as Strood Retail Park (to the south-west of Lower Upnor) rarely close, so resealing is phased.
Lower Upnor is about 2 miles north-east of Rochester, in Medway. Lower Upnor sits inside our coverage and the rest of Medway, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 54 places in Medway, from busy centres to rural villages. Our London page has more on work in that area, about 27 miles away.
Commercial sites across ME2 are covered. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Galleon Way, Cutter Close and Schooner Walk. We also cover Upper Upnor (1 mile south-west), Chattenden (1 mile north), Wainscott (1 mile west), Hoo St Werburgh (2 miles north-east) and Cooling Street (2 miles north). Further afield, our area takes in Gillingham (3 miles south-east), Chatham (4 miles south), Rainham (5 miles south-east), Strood (3 miles south-west), Luton (3 miles south) and Park Wood (5 miles south-east).

Other landmarks nearby include Upnor Castle (less than half a mile south) and Pentagon Shopping Centre (1.9 miles south). Open spaces near Lower Upnor include Rede Common and Gad's Hill.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Note failing joints building by building
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
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.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Lower Upnor
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Common problems we fix in Lower Upnor
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
On a healthcare site such as Medway Maritime Hospital, which lies south of Lower Upnor, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.

Different surfaces, different methods
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms in gyms and leisure centres stay wet and warm, so mould is a constant battle. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. They are checked with everything else.
FAQs: Lower Upnor
Is Lower Upnor too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Greenwich - Medway 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.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
