Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Barcombe outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Lewes Victoria Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Washroom sealing in Barcombe
Whether it’s a single toilet block in Barcombe or a programme across several buildings, we work the same way: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. Site teams most often ask us about panel joints letting water behind and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, across kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Barcombe? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Halls and community buildings near places like Barcombe are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Advice
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photos of the problem areas
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.

Do you need washroom sealing in Barcombe?
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Schools such as Barcombe Church of England Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.
What your quote should include
