Commercial sealant for homes and businesses in Dover
With over 20 years in sealant work, we’re a fully insured, ARBOMaster approved team. Tell us what paperwork your site needs, such as RAMS or insurance details, and we’ll confirm what we can provide. Typical jobs include failed joints in office kitchens and tea points and too many rooms to reseal without closing the building, on student & care accommodation, retail & leisure sites and welfare facilities.
For anyone managing a school, care home, pub or office in Dover, the sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and the fire-rated joints around its pipework, all need looking after. Out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Dover and across Kent.
Surface by surface
Office washrooms & kitchens
Office washrooms and tea points are used all day, so we can work early or out of hours where that can be arranged. Basins, urinals, worktops and sinks are all resealed.
Hotel bathrooms
We can plan around check-out and check-in times.

What affects the cost of commercial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Leave squeegees in busy showers
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant.
A room that cannot be let or used is lost income. Catching faults early means they can be put right in a short window, before they become leaks that take the room out of use.
Commercial sealant in Dover: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Dover, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Dover. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Letting a property close to Dover Priory station? Then several rental properties can be resealed on one programme. If you look after a building such as Shatterlocks Infant School, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Andrew Buckland, its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else.

Dover: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Dover?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is Dover in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Dover is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What does commercial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. Between tenancies is a good time to reseal bathrooms and kitchens.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. A visit in Dover needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we’ll plan the programme.
- We go through your site’s paperwork needs, such as RAMS, before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out room by room and joints cleaned and treated.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealant elsewhere.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Assessing what fire stopping a building needs
- Water coming from plumbing rather than sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
