What affects the price in Housham Tye
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint

The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Housham Tye
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and panel joints letting water behind. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Housham Tye, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Community buildings around smaller places like Housham Tye have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Housham Tye need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Questions we are asked in Housham Tye
Is Housham Tye too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Must a hotel around Housham Tye close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so facilities are never short.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
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.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Surface by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Stone and some composite tops need a neutral-cure sealant, so the product is chosen to suit.
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
When to call us in Housham Tye
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
Healthcare estates like Rivers Hospital (2.8 miles north-west of Housham Tye) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
