Questions about Shipbourne
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Kent - Tonbridge for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Shipbourne off your patch?
No. Places such as Shipbourne are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Leave it or put it right?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Halls, stores and units around places like Shipbourne may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

When to call us in Shipbourne
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
For a school such as Shipbourne School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates.
Comparing quotes
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Shipbourne can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right 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.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant, and we survey them together.
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant and we flag that beforehand.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
