Surface by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Changing rooms and accessible showers often have wet floors, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
About our washroom sealing in Ifold
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. Most enquiries involve sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and sealant lifting along a tray edge, on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ifold first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Smaller places such as Ifold still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Sanitary sealant for Ifold buildings
Ifold lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, which is why the work is phased.
For a school such as Loxwood Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at St John the Baptist, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Ifold is about 9 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Anywhere in RH14, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, Ifold among them. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 24 miles from Ifold.

Questions we are asked in Ifold
Which documents can you supply for work in Ifold?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Ifold too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Ifold is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Ifold are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.

What else we do in Ifold
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
