When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Tovil

How we handle washroom sealing in Tovil
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve mould spotting along silicone joints and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Tovil, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as Tovil, commercial washrooms tend to be in schools, pubs, cafés, surgeries, care homes and sports clubs. They don’t need a big crew, but they do need old sealant fully cut out before anti-mould silicone goes on.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Tovil: questions and answers
Do hotels near Tovil have to close for sealant 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.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University for the Creative Arts?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a site in Tovil, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Washroom sealing in Tovil: the local picture
Tovil has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. Central London is about 31 miles from Tovil. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.
In a centre such as The Mall Maidstone (0.9 miles north-east of Tovil), public washrooms are resealed a block of facilities at a time. If you manage an office at a site such as Tovil Green Business Park (under half a mile south of Tovil), the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time.
Tovil is about 1 mile west of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Tovil, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Tovil. London is covered too, some 31 miles away.

Local landmarks in Tovil
In Tovil, that means premises near River Len LNR, St Augustine Academy and Oakwood Park Grammar School and the streets around them. Tovil’s nearest station is Maidstone West station, roughly 0.5 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Kent Fire Brigade Museum (under half a mile south-east) and Allington Castle (2 miles north). For a walk, there’s Boxley Hills and Burham Down.
What happens if it’s left?
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. For buildings in places like Tovil, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day, so mould is a constant battle. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing and we’ll point out any we see.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Tovil
Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Student showers at universities like University for the Creative Arts, 0.7 miles north-west of Tovil, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
