Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
About our washroom sealing in Kemptown
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. The enquiries we see most involve sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Kemptown is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Pub and restaurant kitchens around smaller places like Kemptown work hard on their joints. Sealed joints at sinks, worktops and splashbacks help keep the kitchen cleanable, using a food-safe product near food preparation.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Kemptown

Do you need washroom sealing in Kemptown?
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
For a site such as Eye Hospital, which lies north-west of Kemptown, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Report faulty extraction promptly
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 signage stays in place until that time.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Washroom sealing around Kemptown: how the place shapes the job
With the shore within about 1 mile, Kemptown counts as a coastal location, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Central London is about 47 miles from Kemptown, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
In a centre such as Churchill Square (1.4 miles west of Kemptown), public washrooms are resealed a block of facilities at a time. For a campus such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus, which lies north of Kemptown, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.
Kemptown is about 1 mile south-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Anywhere in BN2, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 29 places in Brighton and Hove.

We also cover Whitehawk (1 mile north-east), Carlton Hill (1 mile north-west), Hanover (1 mile north-west), Brighton (1 mile north-west) and West Hill (2 miles north-west).

How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed as well as site permits.
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
Kemptown: questions and answers
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Eye Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and we clear our waste as we work.

- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
