Commercial sealant in Margate
Wet areas get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and kitchens get a food-safe product where it’s needed. We use sealants from Arbo and Everbuild, applied by ARBOMaster approved applicators. We work on rental portfolios, welfare facilities and office washrooms & kitchens, and people most often call us about water marks on ceilings under bathrooms and mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice.
Washrooms in busy buildings wear their sealant out faster than a bathroom at home, and fire-rated joints need restoring whenever new services are run through a wall. In Margate, timings are planned around the building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Schedule work around occupancy
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
- Leave squeegees in busy showers
Include sealant in routine room inspections. A quick look at each bathroom when rooms are checked spots problems early.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. The longer it’s left, the deeper it grows into the silicone, and only replacement fixes it.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. A visit in Margate needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- The first visit is a look round the site to agree the scope.
- We agree when we will work, with early or out-of-hours slots where they 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
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Why act early in Margate
First impressions are often made in the washroom. Mouldy silicone looks unhygienic, however hard housekeeping work, and scrubbing will not fix it. Replacing it does. Around Margate, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Landlord and commercial work in Margate
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Poor ventilation that keeps bringing mould back
- Faulty shower valves and leaking traps
- Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Whole floors of tired en suites
- Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants
