About our washroom sealing in Horney Common
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on urinals and WCs, kitchens and tea points and vanity units and basins, and what we’re called in for most is black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and stained sealant around pans and urinals. Whoever orders the work in Horney Common, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller places such as Horney Common still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Do you need washroom sealing in Horney Common?
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Christ Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

Horney Common: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Horney Common outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Uckfield Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, 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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. For buildings around smaller places like Horney Common, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
