How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
We plan kitchen sealing around when the kitchen is in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and look unhygienic.
Washroom sealing in Markbeech
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and users noticing mouldy joints, on urinals and WCs, showers, trays and wet room floors and vanity units and basins. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Markbeech it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like Markbeech have busy toilets and kitchens. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Markbeech may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Questions we are asked in Markbeech
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Markbeech for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Is Markbeech too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.

Markbeech lies roughly 25 miles out from central London. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
At a school such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital, 2.4 miles to the north-west of Markbeech, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Markbeech
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Panel joints letting water behind
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of the Holy Trinity, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
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.
