How we handle washroom sealing in Lewes
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. Most enquiries involve washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lewes from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Schools in towns like Lewes usually want washrooms and changing rooms done in the holidays, while offices and care homes need phased work. Give us the dates and times that suit and we will plan the work to fit.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Lewes
Wet areas in Lewes’s workplaces
The area within 2 miles of Lewes holds several hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Lewes is about 43 miles from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, which is why the work is phased.
For a campus such as University of Sussex, 4 miles west of Lewes, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. Toilets at colleges like East Sussex College, 0.7 miles to the south-east of Lewes, take heavy use from students and staff alike. For an occupier at a site such as Riverside Industrial Estate, under half a mile east of Lewes, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
Lewes is about 7 miles north-east of Brighton, in East Sussex. We cover Lewes, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Lewes is one of 308 places we cover in East Sussex for washrooms and wet areas. We also cover Brighton, some 7 miles away.
Anyone looking for washroom sealing in BN7, BN8, BN6 and RH15 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Buildings on Market Lane, Market Street and High Street are within our area. Main routes into Lewes include the A26 and A275, useful when we plan access and materials. If your building is just outside Lewes, we cover South Malling (1 mile north-east), Southover (1 mile south-east), Cliffe (1 mile east), Offham (1 mile north-west) and Hamsey (1 mile north). Bigger towns within reach include Eastbourne (14 miles south-east), Seaford (8 miles south-east), Hailsham (11 miles east), Crowborough (14 miles north-east), Uckfield (8 miles north-east) and Newhaven (6 miles south). Lewes ranks among the main centres of East Sussex, with offices, shops, schools and other public and commercial buildings.
What’s near Lewes
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Priory School, St Pancras Catholic Primary School and Railway Land and the streets around them. The closest station to Lewes is Lewes station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Lewes Victoria Hospital (0.5 miles west) and Museum of Agricultural Bygones (3.9 miles east). For a walk, there’s Offham Hill and Malling Down.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. In a town such as Lewes, most jobs are single buildings. Your photographs, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Quotes
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Lewes can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions we are asked in Lewes
Does a hotel in Lewes need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Would you work within a site like Lewes Victoria Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote before we start.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
