How we handle washroom sealing in Frating
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually 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 discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, across urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Frating, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Frating, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we will plan around them.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Site staff or a sealant 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What happens if it’s left?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Frating. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Jobs in and around smaller places like Frating are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Washroom sealing around Frating: points for this area
Frating sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The 2 miles around Frating include two care or nursing homes. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
For a campus such as University of Essex, 3.5 miles to the west of Frating, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. For a hall at a building such as Saint Andrew's Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.
