What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Kencot, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Every area is sheeted and the old silicone stripped out.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- New sealant suited to each area is applied and tooled.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

Commercial sealant in Kencot
Mouldy or split sealant in a commercial building causes more than a bad impression. It’s a cleaning problem, a leak risk and something guests and staff notice. We reseal bathrooms, washrooms, welfare areas and kitchens so they look cared for again. We’re often asked to deal with whole floors of tired en suites and leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas, on retail & leisure sites, hotel bathrooms and welfare facilities.
For a small place like Kencot, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Commercial buildings in Kencot
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.

Your questions about commercial sealant in Kencot
What guarantee comes with commercial sealant in Kencot?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Kencot in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kencot is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you work outside opening hours?
Early starts and out-of-hours work can be arranged. Let us know your hours when you get in touch.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long do rooms need to be out of use?
Most areas can be used after around 24 hours. Each room is handed back with the cure time for the product used.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
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.
Can you take on a whole building?
Yes. With more than 20 years’ experience and over 2,847 projects behind us, we plan big jobs so the building keeps running.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
- Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Schedule work around occupancy
Keep the extraction running and maintained. In internal bathrooms, a weak or broken fan lets moisture linger, and that is what keeps mould away.
Rooms out of use cost a hotel or landlord money. Small sealant faults caught early can be fixed between bookings or tenancies, instead of turning into a leak that closes the room.
Do you need commercial sealant in Kencot?
Staff kitchens and food areas see constant splashing and wiping, so sealant there wears and stains. The worktop and sink edges generally fail first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's Church of England School, busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
What affects the cost of commercial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Why act early in Kencot
Replacing a whole washroom takes time, money and several trades. When the fittings are sound, renewing the sealant brings it back with far less upheaval. If something else is wrong, we’ll say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kencot can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
