How we handle washroom sealing in The Brents
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. If you have shower tray joints that have opened up and stained sealant around pans and urinals, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in The Brents first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around places like The Brents, hospitality kitchens and toilets see heavy use in busy spells. Sealed joints at sinks, worktops and splashbacks help keep the kitchen cleanable, using a food-safe product near food preparation.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Wet areas in The Brents’s workplaces
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from The Brents, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from The Brents. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
For a hotel such as The Ship Hotel, which lies south of The Brents, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. Schools such as Davington Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Faversham Parish Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
The Brents is about 1 mile north-east of Faversham, in Kent. Anywhere in ME13, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, The Brents among them. Sites around London have their own page, about 44 miles away.

Local landmarks in The Brents
Around The Brents, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Brents Tavern, Oare Meadow and Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School and the streets around them.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a site in The Brents, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints

Common questions from The Brents clients
Will all the washrooms in our The Brents building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is a smaller place like The Brents outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
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.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What else we do in The Brents
Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Note failing joints building by building
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
