Newhaven: questions and answers
Can work in a care setting near Newhaven go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Newhaven
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. If you have a new bead over an old one coming away and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Newhaven it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Newhaven
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Newhaven
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. 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.
Surface by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Natural stone tops can be marked by acetoxy silicone, so the product is chosen to suit.
Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints and we look at them as one job.

Busy facilities in and around Newhaven
With the shore within about 1 mile, Newhaven counts as a coastal location, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are six care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Newhaven. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
For a site such as Western General Hospital (Edinburgh), which lies south-west of Newhaven, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. For an occupier at a site such as North Leith Sands Industrial Estate, which lies east of Newhaven, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. City jobs in Newhaven usually need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
