Copthorne: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Langley Green Hospital (psychiatric)?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can work in a care setting near Copthorne go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
About our washroom sealing in Copthorne
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. Site teams most often ask us about resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and urinal joints that look unhygienic, on urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points. For commercial sealant work in Copthorne, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
A place of Copthorne’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. They don’t need a big crew, but they do need old sealant fully cut out before anti-mould silicone goes on.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Commercial clients in Copthorne
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
What we’re called out for in Copthorne
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Toilets at colleges like Crawley College, 2.8 miles to the south-west of Copthorne, take heavy use from students and staff alike.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
