Washroom sealing for East Lavant sites

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

Washroom sealing in East Lavant, done properly

Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. If you have urinal joints that look unhygienic and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in East Lavant first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.

In and around smaller places like East Lavant, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.

Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Leave it or put it right?

Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant even when the room is otherwise spotless. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Converted and older buildings near places like East Lavant tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.

The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What you get with us

  • Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
  • Commercial sealant work since 2005

Washroom sealing in East Lavant: the local picture

There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of East Lavant. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home. East Lavant has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.

Toilets at colleges like Chichester College (2.4 miles south of East Lavant) take heavy use from students and staff alike. En suites at hotels like Hunters Lodge Hotel (to the north-west of East Lavant) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Chichester, 1.6 miles to the south of East Lavant, are easiest to reseal during vacations.

When something else is needed

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:

  • Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
  • Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
  • Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles

If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Vanity units and basins
  • Urinals and WCs
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Kitchens and tea points
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:

  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • How much existing material needs removing

What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Details that help us quote

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • The postcode of the building
  • Specification clauses that apply

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.

General trades versus a 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.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

How a job runs

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If others near East Lavant need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
  2. The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
  3. The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
  4. We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
  5. A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
  6. Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.

Before we start on site

  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Related advice

Looking after the joints

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:

  • Inspect washroom sealant regularly
  • Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
  • Report faulty extraction promptly
  • Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote

Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.

Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
