How we handle washroom sealing in Westbrook
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels, across IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Westbrook, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as Westbrook, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Surface by surface
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed and any permits the site uses.
Do you need washroom sealing in Westbrook?
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Look out for the following:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
Clinical washrooms at sites like Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital, 1.2 miles south-east of Westbrook, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Your questions answered
Must a hotel around Westbrook close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in most cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Work in places the size of Westbrook is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Washroom sealing around Westbrook: points for this area
Westbrook sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. The area within 2 miles of Westbrook holds plenty of hotels. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice.
For a hotel such as Nayland Rock Hotel (under half a mile north-east of Westbrook), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of All Saints, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
