Washroom sealing in Old Tree
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and split or peeling sealant at shower trays. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Old Tree tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Old Tree, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Why it’s worth doing now in Old Tree
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Converted and older buildings near places like Old Tree tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Old Tree can form part of a wider programme.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Washroom sealing around Old Tree: points for this area
With the shore within about 3 miles, Old Tree counts as a coastal location, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. At about 56 miles from central London, Old Tree is within reach of the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
Pupil toilets at schools like Hoath Primary School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal. Office toilets at parks like Chislet Business Park (1.1 miles south of Old Tree) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital (to the north-west of Old Tree) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.
Old Tree is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We send applicators to Old Tree for washrooms and wet areas. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. For work in that direction, see our London page.

- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.

Your questions answered
Is Old Tree off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
