Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Eastbourne District General Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Brighton for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover Friston?
Yes. Friston falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Washroom sealing in Friston
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we’re called in for most is users noticing mouldy joints and a new bead over an old one coming away. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Friston it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Jobs in a smaller place such as Friston are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. A list and photographs let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Work in places the size of Friston is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.

- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.

For a campus such as University of Brighton, 2.5 miles east of Friston, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.

What we’re called out for in Friston
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint

Why it’s worth doing now in Friston
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
