Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Tunstall
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. If you have sealant lifting along a tray edge and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Tunstall, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Smaller places such as Tunstall still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
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.

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Around Tunstall, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
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.
Our process
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. If others near Tunstall need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Tunstall can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.

Questions about Tunstall
Is Tunstall too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Tunstall are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Canterbury Christ Church University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
When to call us in Tunstall
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
Toilets at colleges like Sittingbourne College (0.7 miles north of Tunstall) take heavy use from students and staff alike.

- What site paperwork they can supply
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
