Old Romney: questions and answers

Do we have to close all our washrooms in Old Romney for resealing?

Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.

Is Old Romney off your patch?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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 soon can a washroom be used after resealing?

That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.

Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?

The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

What site paperwork can you supply?

Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?

Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. We work on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we’re called in for most is kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and urinal joints that look unhygienic.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Old Romney

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Honest limits

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:

  • Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
  • Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
  • Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first

Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work in Old Romney

  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Urinals and WCs
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • Vanity units and basins
  • Kitchens and tea points

Aftercare for building managers

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
  • Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
  • Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
  • Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage

We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.

Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.

What the job involves on each surface

Healthcare and care settings

Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.

IPS and cubicle panels

A panel that has already swollen won’t be fixed by sealant and we will point out any we see.

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Romney

A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells which costs more to fix than a reseal. For buildings around smaller places like Old Romney, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.

Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Washroom sealing around Old Romney: how the place shapes the job

At about 55 miles from central London, Old Romney is within reach of the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.

For a school such as The Marsh Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. Halls linked to places like Church of St Clement host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. On an industrial estate such as Peak Industrial Park, 2.4 miles to the south-east of Old Romney, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear.

Old Romney is about 10 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Anywhere in TN29, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Old Romney is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for washrooms and wet areas. Brighton is covered too, some 46 miles away.

How a job runs

Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Old Romney may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

  1. First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
  2. Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
  3. Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
  4. We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
  5. We give you a reopening time for every room.

Getting the site ready

  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
  • Agree which areas must stay open
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
