Common problems we fix in Norton
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
Student showers at universities like University of Brighton (to the north-west of Norton) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
What to look for in a quote

Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. If you have sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and sealant stained black around basins and showers, we can put it right.

What affects the price in Norton
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Note failing joints building by building
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.

Questions we are asked in Norton
Would you work within a site like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Brighton for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Typically not. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Busy facilities in and around Norton
With the shore within about 2 miles, Norton counts as a coastal location, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. At about 49 miles from central London, Norton is within reach of the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
For an occupier at a site such as Newhaven Industrial Park, which lies south-west of Norton, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office. Healthcare estates like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (to the south-west of Norton) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.
Norton is about 2 miles east of Newhaven, in East Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Norton, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Norton is one of 308 places in East Sussex on our list for washrooms and wet areas. We also cover Brighton, around 10 miles from Norton.
Postcode districts covered here: BN25. Just outside Norton, we also work in Bishopstone (1 mile south), Tide Mills (1 mile south-west), Denton (1 mile west), South Heighton (1 mile north-west) and Newhaven (2 miles west). Bigger towns within reach include Eastbourne (9 miles east), Lewes (7 miles north-west), Hailsham (9 miles north-east), Uckfield (12 miles north), Peacehaven (3 miles west) and Telscombe (4 miles west).
Around Norton
Around Norton, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Castle Hill, among other places. The nearest railway station is Bishopstone (Sussex) station, roughly 1.2 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Newhaven Museum (1.4 miles west) and Arlington Castle (3.8 miles east). Not far away are Firle Beacon.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Norton may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
