About our washroom sealing in Newington
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels so they get particular attention. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed sealant behind washroom basins and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Newington, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller places such as Newington still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Different surfaces, different methods
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Note failing joints building by building
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Wet areas in Newington’s workplaces
Newington sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Newington. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
Student showers at universities like University Centre Folkestone, 3 miles east of Newington, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Shorncliffe Industrial Estate (1.4 miles south-east of Newington) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard. Colleges such as Folkestone College, 2.3 miles east of Newington, have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.

Common questions from Newington clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Royal Victoria Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can work at a site such as University Centre Folkestone fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Newington, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- 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.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Why act early in Newington
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Older rural buildings around Newington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
