How we handle washroom sealing in New Romney
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’ll confirm with the quote. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and stained sealant around pans and urinals. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in New Romney from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Pub and restaurant kitchens around smaller places like New Romney work hard on their joints. Smooth, sealed joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding make cleaning easier.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

FAQs: New Romney
Is New Romney too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as New Romney are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does a hotel in New Romney need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Washroom sealing around New Romney: what changes locally
With the shore within about 2 miles, New Romney counts as a coastal location, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. A 2-mile radius around New Romney takes in several hotels. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
For an occupier at a site such as Peak Industrial Park (2.3 miles south-west of New Romney), the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office. Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St Nicholas, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Hotels such as The Ship Hotel, under half a mile to the north of New Romney, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
New Romney is about 8 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. New Romney sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. New Romney is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. Brighton is covered too, some 48 miles away.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in New Romney

Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
Quoting for work in New Romney
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email us. You can also send details through our quote form.
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and we clear our waste as we work. Several jobs near New Romney can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- 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
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
