Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Ottinge
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are shower tray joints that have opened up and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. Whoever orders the work in Ottinge, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Ottinge, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we’ll plan around them.

Keeping Ottinge washrooms open while we work
Ottinge lies roughly 57 miles out from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
At a school such as Lyminge Church of England Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. En suites at hotels like Abbot's Fireside Hotel (1.1 miles north-east of Ottinge) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Ottinge is about 5 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Ottinge. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Ottinge. London is covered too, some 57 miles away.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around Ottinge can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ottinge
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Converted and older buildings near places like Ottinge tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why us?
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

Common problems we fix in Ottinge
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
At a hospital like Royal Victoria Hospital (4.9 miles south-east of Ottinge), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

FAQs: Ottinge
Must every washroom in our Ottinge building shut while you work?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Is Ottinge off your patch?
Not at all. Ottinge is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
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.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Condensation from failed extract fans
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
