Washroom sealing in The Platt
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. If you’re dealing with failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, we can put it right, on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and kitchens and tea points alike. Whoever orders the work in The Platt, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like The Platt, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.

FAQs: The Platt
Would you work within a site like Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as Canterbury Christ Church University - Salomons fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Rural sites near The Platt may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Nearby places to The Platt
What else we do in The Platt
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements as well as site permits.
Changing rooms and gyms
We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Commercial clients in The Platt
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.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. For buildings around smaller places like The Platt, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why appoint us
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- CHAS accredited
- CSCS-carded applicators

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
