Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Founthill
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. Most enquiries involve users noticing mouldy joints and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles. Searching for sealant specialists in Founthill? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Community buildings around smaller places like Founthill have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
At a university such as University of Sussex (2.6 miles west of Founthill), summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Uckfield Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Founthill too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Resealing early protects the unit.
Kitchens and tea points
Staff kitchens and tea points have joints at worktops, sinks and splashbacks. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
