About our washroom sealing in Upton
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. Most enquiries involve mould spotting along silicone joints and a new bead over an old one coming away, on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Upton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Jobs in a smaller place such as Upton are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. A list and photographs let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Keeping Upton washrooms open while we work
Upton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Five care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Upton. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Work is agreed with the manager, around residents’ routines.
For a site such as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital, which lies north-west of Upton, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. Customer toilets in retail centres such as Broadstairs Retail Park, 1.1 miles to the west of Upton, rarely close, so resealing is phased. For an occupier at a site such as Pysons Road Industrial Estate, which lies west of Upton, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
Upton is about 1 mile south-west of Broadstairs, in Kent. Anywhere in CT10, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Our London page has more on work in that area (66 miles or so).
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout CT10, CT11 and CT12, for business premises of every kind. Streets here include Vale Road, Lawn Road and Upton Road. Upton sits on or close to the A255. We also cover Broadstairs (1 mile north-east), St Peter's (1 mile north-west), Northwood (1 mile west), Ramsgate (1 mile south-west) and St Lawrence (2 miles south-west) for washrooms and wet areas. A short drive away, we cover Deal (10 miles south), Herne Bay (13 miles west), Walmer (11 miles south), Whitfield (15 miles south), Sandwich (7 miles south-west) and Aylesham (13 miles south-west).

Surface by surface
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
IPS and cubicle panels
Panel systems meet walls, floors and vanity tops at sealed joints. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Upton
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Leave it or put it right?
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed for now. Small buildings around Upton suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For a site in Upton, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- 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.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.

Questions about Upton
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is a smaller place like Upton outside your area?
No. Places such as Upton are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
