Washroom sealing for businesses in Old Shoreham
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Smaller jobs around Old Shoreham can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- 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.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Washroom sealing in Old Shoreham
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Site teams most often ask us about users noticing mouldy joints and failed sealant behind washroom basins, on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points. For commercial sealant work in Old Shoreham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Old Shoreham, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we’ll plan around them.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Why act early in Old Shoreham
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours which costs more to fix than a reseal. Halls, stores and units around places like Old Shoreham may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Keeping Old Shoreham washrooms open while we work
With the shore within about 1 mile, Old Shoreham counts as a coastal location, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Old Shoreham lies roughly 47 miles out from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
On a healthcare site such as Southlands Hospital, which lies east of Old Shoreham, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. For an occupier at a site such as Dolphin Industrial Estate (1.4 miles east of Old Shoreham), the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.

When to call us in Old Shoreham
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Look out for the following:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- A new bead over an old one coming away
At a school such as Swiss Gardens Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Different surfaces, different methods
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
