About our washroom sealing in Speed Gate
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. If you have complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can put it right, on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs alike. Whoever orders the work in Speed Gate, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Speed Gate, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Common questions from Speed Gate clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Darent Valley Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. The work is phased around patients or residents.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Speed Gate, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.

Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
Hotels such as Brands Hatch Hotel (to the south of Speed Gate) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. At a school such as Longfield Academy, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Speed Gate
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Healthcare estates like Darent Valley Hospital (4.5 miles north of Speed Gate) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.
