Advice
Washroom sealing in Portfield
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs, and what we are called in for most is shower tray joints that have opened up and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. Most enquiries from Portfield start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
A place of Portfield’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Portfield: questions and answers
Is Portfield off your patch?
No. Places such as Portfield are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Chichester?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points

When to call us in Portfield
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
Customer toilets in retail centres such as Summersdale Retail Park, 1.8 miles north-west of Portfield, rarely close, so resealing is phased.
