Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Icklesham can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
How we handle washroom sealing in Icklesham
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. Most enquiries involve open joints along basins and vanity units and stained sealant around pans and urinals, on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points. For commercial sealant work in Icklesham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Community buildings around smaller places like Icklesham have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Keeping Icklesham washrooms open while we work
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Icklesham, 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, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Central London is about 52 miles from Icklesham. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
At a hospital like Conquest Hospital, 4.8 miles south-west of Icklesham, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. Schools such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.

Questions we’re asked in Icklesham
Is Icklesham too far out for you?
No. Places such as Icklesham are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Would you work within a site like Conquest 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.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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 checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Icklesham are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Signs you need washroom sealing in Icklesham
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
Why act early in Icklesham
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Around Icklesham, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
