Washroom sealing in Sturry, done properly
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. Most enquiries involve sealant stained black around basins and showers and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, across IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Sturry from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
A place of Sturry’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. They don’t need a big crew, but they do need old sealant fully cut out before anti-mould silicone goes on.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Sturry
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Clinical washrooms at sites like Saint Martin's Hospital, 2.1 miles to the south of Sturry, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Proof of insurance
Sanitary sealant for Sturry buildings
At about 54 miles from central London, Sturry is within reach of the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, which is why the work is phased.
For a college such as Canterbury College (2.5 miles south-west of Sturry), half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work. Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 2.5 miles to the south-west of Sturry, are easiest to reseal during vacations.
Sturry is about 3 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Sturry. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Sturry among them. There’s a separate page for London, about 54 miles away.
We cover the CT2 postcode districts for washrooms and wet areas. Among the streets we cover are High Street, Park View and Link Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Nearby places we also cover include Broad Oak (1 mile west), Westbere (1 mile east), Calcott (1 mile north), Hersden (2 miles east) and Hicks Forstal (2 miles north) for washrooms and wet areas. Nearby towns on our patch include Canterbury (3 miles south-west), Margate (12 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south-east), Folkestone (15 miles south), Ramsgate (13 miles east) and Broadstairs (14 miles east).
Local landmarks in Sturry
Around Sturry, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Frank Montgomery School, Chequer's Wood and Old Park and The Swan Inn. There’s a railway station in Sturry itself: Sturry station. Well-known places in the area include Canterbury Roman Museum (2.6 miles south-west) and St Martins Hospital (2.1 miles south). For a walk, there’s West Blean and Thornden Woods.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Why appoint us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

Questions we’re asked in Sturry
Is Sturry off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
