Washroom sealing in Thanington, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. Most enquiries involve resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, across kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and IPS panels and cubicles. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Thanington first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Jobs in a smaller place such as Thanington are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. A list and photographs let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use, so the sealant has to take that movement. Loose panels are flagged before any sealant goes on.
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant and we look at them as one job.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Busy facilities in and around Thanington

Common questions from Thanington clients
Will our hotel in Thanington need to close for the work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of the Creative Arts?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
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 before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
