Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Hickstead
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. 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. The enquiries we see most involve mould spotting along silicone joints and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, on vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and kitchens and tea points. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hickstead is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls and community buildings near places like Hickstead are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why deal with it now?
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Converted and older buildings near places like Hickstead tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Washroom sealing in Hickstead: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around Hickstead takes in a number of hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. Hickstead is about 37 miles from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
At a school such as Twineham CofE Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as The Parish Church of St Peter, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Office washrooms on sites such as Bolney Grange Business Park (to the north-east of Hickstead) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.

Hickstead: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Hickstead outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as The Dene Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
How the job changes by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms so the edges are checked carefully.
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If others near Hickstead need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
