Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Washroom sealing in Falmer, done properly
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. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and users noticing mouldy joints. Whoever orders the work in Falmer, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Community buildings around smaller places like Falmer have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common problems we fix in Falmer
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
Look out for the following:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
Student showers at universities like University of Sussex (less than half a mile north-west of Falmer) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
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.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Questions we are asked in Falmer
Is a smaller place like Falmer outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Falmer?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Falmer, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
