Freshwater: questions and answers
Will the toilets in our Freshwater building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is Freshwater off your patch?
Not at all. Freshwater is within our area. We work across Greater London and 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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Washroom sealing in Freshwater, done properly
From one staff toilet in Freshwater to washrooms across a whole estate, the route is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. A few photographs and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. We work on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and sealant stained black around basins and showers. For commercial sealant work in Freshwater, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Pub and restaurant kitchens around smaller places like Freshwater work hard on their joints. Smooth, sealed joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding make cleaning easier, using a food-safe product near food preparation.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Freshwater can form part of a wider programme across the Isle of Wight.
What we are called out for in Freshwater
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
Look out for the following:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at All Saints' Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Before you book anyone
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. For a site in Freshwater, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Freshwater
Freshwater lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Freshwater has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Schools such as All Saints Church of England Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. En suites at hotels like Albion Hotel, 1 mile south-east of Freshwater, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Freshwater is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Any commercial site in Freshwater is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across the Isle of Wight, 125 places are covered, including Freshwater. Southampton is covered too, some 17 miles away.

Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Landmarks near Freshwater

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

What else we do in Freshwater
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
