What we’re called out for in Swattenden
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
Schools such as Cranbrook School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their public liability cover
Washroom sealing in Swattenden
In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. If you’re dealing with failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and urinal joints that look unhygienic, we can put it right, on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Swattenden, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Community buildings around smaller places like Swattenden have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What happens if it’s left?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed while bigger works are planned. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Swattenden. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- CSCS-carded applicators
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. If others near Swattenden need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- 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.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we will need

What else we do in Swattenden
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
Swattenden: questions and answers
Must every washroom in our Swattenden building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hawkhurst Community 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.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Do you cover Swattenden?
Yes. We cover Swattenden. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
