Questions we are asked in Sarre
Will all the washrooms in our Sarre building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Sarre?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in most cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so facilities are never short.
About our washroom sealing in Sarre
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 accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and kitchens and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Sarre? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Sarre, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed and any permits the site uses.
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. They are checked with everything else.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sarre are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Wet areas in Sarre’s workplaces
Sarre lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Sarre is about 58 miles from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
For a school such as St Nicholas At Wade Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. Hotels such as Sarre Court Hotel (to the south-east of Sarre) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Sarre is about 5 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Sarre use us for work on washrooms and wet areas, as part of our coverage of Kent. Sarre is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 58 miles away.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout CT7. Buildings on Island Road, Old Road and Chantry Park are within our area for washrooms and wet areas. We also cover St Nicholas at Wade (1 mile north-east), West Stourmouth (1 mile south), East Stourmouth (2 miles south), Monkton (2 miles east) and Upstreet (2 miles south-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Canterbury (8 miles south-west), Margate (7 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (7 miles east), Broadstairs (8 miles east) and Whitstable (9 miles west).
Around Sarre
Recent enquiries here include premises near Grove Ferry Picnic Area and Kings Head Inn, among other places. Sarre’s nearest station is Minster station, roughly 3.5 miles east. Well-known places in the area include Powell-Cotton Museum (3.8 miles north-east).
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Sarre. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
What we are called out for in Sarre
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Hedgend Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles north-east of Sarre, have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.
