Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Street End
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we are called in for most is resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and open joints at the base of cubicle panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Street End is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Street End, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Sealant that has gone black with mould typically can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Questions about Street End
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as The Chaucer Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University for the Creative Arts?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.

Related advice
Do you need washroom sealing in Street End?
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
For a college such as Canterbury College, which lies north of Street End, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
Staff kitchens and tea points have joints at worktops, sinks and splashbacks. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. We include them in the survey.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Street End, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
