How we handle washroom sealing in Ferring
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you’re dealing with failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, we can help, on urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. Most enquiries from Ferring start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Jobs in a smaller place such as Ferring are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. Photos of each area help us plan the visit and bring the right sealant.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Questions we are asked in Ferring
Would you work within a site like Goring Hall 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.
Do hotels near Ferring have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
What’s the quickest route to 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 photographs and a postcode.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Ferring
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What we are called out for in Ferring
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- A new bead over an old one coming away
At a school such as Ferring CofE Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
