Washroom sealing in Nettlestead
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we’re called in for most is users noticing mouldy joints and panel joints letting water behind. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Nettlestead first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Halls and community buildings near places like Nettlestead are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
These are the things that shape the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first and we flag that beforehand.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Nettlestead are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send your site hours and access windows

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Questions about Nettlestead
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Oakwood 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.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

What we are called out for in Nettlestead
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
For a school such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates.
