Questions about Old Hawkinge
Is a hospital such as Royal Victoria Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Old Hawkinge off your patch?
Not at all. Old Hawkinge is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in most cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
About our washroom sealing in Old Hawkinge
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you are dealing with open joints at the base of cubicle panels and mould spotting along silicone joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Old Hawkinge, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Old Hawkinge, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

How the job changes by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.

Common problems we fix in Old Hawkinge
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
On a healthcare site such as Royal Victoria Hospital, 2.1 miles to the south of Old Hawkinge, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Converted and older buildings near places like Old Hawkinge tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- One number for every site we cover
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- A fixed quote before work starts
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
Wet areas in Old Hawkinge’s workplaces
With the shore within about 2 miles, Old Hawkinge 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, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Central London is about 61 miles from Old Hawkinge. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
Toilets at places like West Park Farm North Retail Park, 1.5 miles south-west of Old Hawkinge, are cleaned constantly, which is hard on silicone. At a college such as Folkestone College, which lies south of Old Hawkinge, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term.
