Surface by surface
Showers and trays

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Fontwell
In a commercial washroom, sealant is normally the first thing to wear out. 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 sealant stained black around basins and showers and failed sealant behind washroom basins, on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles. Most enquiries from Fontwell start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like Fontwell have busy toilets and kitchens. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we will plan around them.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Condensation from failed extract fans

Fontwell: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Arundel and District Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Chichester for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

Leave it or put it right?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours which costs more to fix than a reseal. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Fontwell. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What else we do in Fontwell
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
What we are called out for in Fontwell
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
For a hotel such as Avisford Park Hotel, which lies east of Fontwell, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for.
