FAQs: Park Wood
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University for the Creative Arts - Rochester?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Medway Maritime Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
About our washroom sealing in Park Wood
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. If you have failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Park Wood first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Jobs in a smaller place such as Park Wood are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. Photos of each area help us plan the visit and bring the right sealant.
Work we carry out in Medway comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Leave it or put it right?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. For buildings in places like Park Wood, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

What we’re called out for in Park Wood
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as St Paul's Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.
What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
