About our washroom sealing in Ditchling
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. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. The enquiries we see most involve stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and users noticing mouldy joints, on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ditchling tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Ditchling, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

En suites at hotels like The Bull Hotel (under half a mile west of Ditchling) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as The Dene Hospital, 3.8 miles to the north-west of Ditchling, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any permits the site uses.
Basins and vanity tops
Natural stone tops can be marked by acetoxy silicone and we choose a neutral-cure grade for them.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Ditchling need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Ditchling: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The Dene Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can work at a site such as University of Sussex fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Ditchling
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
When to call us in Ditchling
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
For a college such as Plumpton College, 2.1 miles south-east of Ditchling, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
