Washroom sealing in Upper Bush, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you’re dealing with failed sealant behind washroom basins and panel joints letting water behind, we can help. Most enquiries from Upper Bush start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller places such as Upper Bush still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Medway. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Common questions from Upper Bush clients
Is Upper Bush too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like French Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.

What happens if it’s left?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Older rural buildings around Upper Bush move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Before we quote, we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
Quantities, awkward access and phased working 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
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The postcode of the building

When to call us in Upper Bush
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
Clinical washrooms at sites like French Hospital (3.2 miles east of Upper Bush) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
Comparing quotes
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Upper Bush are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Resealing early protects the unit.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
