How washroom sealing works in Brighton and Hove
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, across showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs.
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.

Washrooms and wet areas in Brighton and Hove
Restaurants, cafés and commercial kitchens in places such as Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill need smooth, cleanable joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding. Sanitary and hygienic sealants go in, food-safe where food could come into contact with it.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and we cover Brighton and Hove along with the rest of the region. Parts of Brighton and Hove lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.
Brighton: Student showers at universities like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Brighton, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. En suites at hotels like Part Of The Greenwood Lodge Hotel, 0.6 miles south-west of Brighton, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Brighton and Hove
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Brighton and Hove can form part of a wider programme across Brighton and Hove.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
What affects the price in Brighton and Hove
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
Healthcare and care settings
We phase washroom sealing so care areas are never left without facilities. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Questions we’re asked in Brighton and Hove
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
