How we handle commercial sealant in Hartley
Office kitchens, staff washrooms and welfare facilities need to be usable every working day. Early starts and out-of-hours work can be arranged to keep disruption down. You’re told when each area can be used again. Typical jobs include whole floors of tired en suites and tired sealant in let properties, on hotel bathrooms, rental portfolios and office washrooms & kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Hartley, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Hartley: your questions answered
Is Hartley in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes, Hartley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is commercial sealant in Hartley guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How soon can a room be used after resealing?
Most areas can be used after around 24 hours. We give a cure time for each area.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can the hotel stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. We agree the room order and times with your managers, and you will know when each room can be used.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you reseal every bathroom in a hotel?
Yes. With more than 20 years’ experience and over 2,847 projects behind us, we plan big jobs so the building keeps running.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking shower in a hotel room or flat above can damage the ceiling below. Then two rooms are out of action, not one. Resealing first is the smaller job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hartley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Hartley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We agree a programme with you: which rooms, in what order, at what times.
- Tell us what paperwork your site needs, and we confirm what we can supply before we start.
- 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.
- Each finished area is checked with you and given a cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Plan resealing around quiet periods
- Check extract fans are actually running
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
Make it easy for staff to flag a failing joint. A small gap caught quickly is a short fix, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
It’s easier to plan a programme than to react to failures. Rooms can be scheduled around occupancy and staff, instead of rooms closing without warning.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
