- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
Common problems we fix in Greenstead
Heavy use means more movement: different weights, constant use and daily cleaning. A tray that is not fully supported soon tears its seal.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Too many rooms to reseal without closing the building
- Water marks on ceilings under bathrooms
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
- Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants
If you look after a building such as Unity Primary Academy, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

About our commercial sealant in Greenstead
Student halls, care homes and supported housing have many similar bathrooms. We agree a programme and work through them in order, fitting around residents and staff. If you’re dealing with mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check and split sealant where wet room floors meet walls, we can put it right.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Greenstead normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Greenstead
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Extraction that is not working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
- A shower tray, bath or basin that’s cracked or broken
- Fire risk assessments or certification
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Hotel bathrooms
We can plan around check-out and check-in times.
Student & care accommodation
Halls and care homes often have many near-identical bathrooms. We agree a programme and work through them steadily.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. Parking around Greenstead is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We walk the site with you and agree the rooms, the order and the hours.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealants elsewhere.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Commercial sealant in Greenstead: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Greenstead has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Community buildings like Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it. Letting a property close to Hythe station? Then sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio.

Greenstead questions
I let a flat near Hythe station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Greenstead?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you work in Greenstead?
Yes. We work in Greenstead and the rest of Essex. To book, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is out-of-hours working possible?
It can be arranged for many jobs. We’ll confirm the working hours with your quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What happens if it’s left?
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 Greenstead, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why Greenstead clients choose us
- We agree the colour with you first
- We never seal over old sealant
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Tidy, careful work
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Schedule work around occupancy
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
We give a cure time for every area we finish, usually around 24 hours. Make sure housekeeping or cleaning staff know it so the new sealant isn’t wetted or scrubbed too soon.
Signs to look for: mould, splits, peeling corners or water marks downstairs. When you see them, it’s time to plan a reseal.
