What happens if it’s left?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant even when the room is otherwise spotless. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Converted and older buildings near places like Folkington tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Washroom sealing in Folkington
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and kitchens and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant lifting along a tray edge and open joints along basins and vanity units. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Folkington from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Folkington, 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

How the job changes by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.
Changing rooms and gyms
We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a building around Folkington, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.

Common problems we fix in Folkington
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
If you manage an office at a site such as Berwick Court Farm Business Park (2.2 miles west of Folkington), the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Who will actually carry out the work
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Note failing joints building by building
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Commercial washrooms in Folkington

Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. Folkington is about 49 miles from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
At a university such as University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus (4.6 miles south-east of Folkington), summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. En suites at hotels like Crossways Hotel (1 mile north-west of Folkington) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.

Questions about Folkington
Is a smaller place like Folkington outside your area?
No. Places such as Folkington are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Must a hotel around Folkington close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
