When to call us in Five Ashes
Wet rooms and accessible showers are designed for the whole floor to get wet, so the joints at floor level are under water often. A failed joint there can soon let water into the floor or walls.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Too many rooms to reseal without closing the building
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
Schools such as Five Ashes CofE Primary School are buildings too, and busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
- Note the date each area was done
- Put a squeegee in each shower
- Don’t leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
Include sealant in routine room inspections. Checking joints alongside other room checks catches failures before they leak.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, so the fix is replacement.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites. Somewhere as small as Five Ashes, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by looking at the rooms and agreeing what’s needed.
- Working hours are agreed, including early starts or out-of-hours work where it can be arranged.
- Areas are protected and the failed sealant removed.
- Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
- Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Leave it or put it right?
In a building with rooms above rooms, a failed shower seal can soon show on a ceiling below. That means a second room out of use and a repair to pay for. A reseal now avoids that. Around Five Ashes, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What commercial sealant looks like in Five Ashes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Crowborough station change hands often, and several rental properties can be resealed on one programme. Community buildings like Church of the Good Shepherd are part of the picture too: halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
