Washroom sealing in Upstreet
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we’re called in for most is discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and shower tray joints that have opened up. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Upstreet? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Smaller places such as Upstreet 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Your questions answered
Is Upstreet too far out for you?
Not at all. Upstreet is within our area. 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.
Will all the washrooms in our Upstreet building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Upstreet. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Sanitary sealant for Upstreet buildings
Upstreet is about 57 miles from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, which is why the work is phased.
On an industrial estate such as Canterbury Industrial Park, 1.3 miles south-west of Upstreet, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear. Halls linked to places like Church of St Mary the Virgin host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.
Upstreet is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Upstreet. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 57 miles from Upstreet.
If you need washroom sealing in CT3, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your site is on St Mary's Gardens, Becketts Wood and Grove Ferry Hill or close by, send details and we will quote for washrooms and wet areas. Sites close to Upstreet are covered too, including Grove (1 mile south), West Stourmouth (2 miles east), Sarre (2 miles north-east), Preston (2 miles south-east) and East Stourmouth (2 miles east). Nearby towns on our patch include Canterbury (6 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (9 miles east), Broadstairs (10 miles east) and Whitstable (8 miles west).
Landmarks near Upstreet
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Grove Ferry Picnic Area, Spires Academy and The Grove Ferry Inn. For rail, the closest station is Sturry station, roughly 3.8 miles south-west. A little further out are St Martins Hospital (5.2 miles south-west). Not far away are West Blean and Thornden Woods.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
What we are called out for in Upstreet
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Panel joints letting water behind
Clinical washrooms at sites like St Martins Hospital, 5.2 miles south-west of Upstreet, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.

Why act early in Upstreet
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Converted and older buildings near places like Upstreet tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
