Ratton Village: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Eastbourne District General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will our hotel in Ratton Village need to close for the work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you work in Ratton Village?
Yes. We cover Ratton Village, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
About our washroom sealing in Ratton Village
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. Most enquiries involve failed sealant behind washroom basins and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, across kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs. For commercial sealant work in Ratton Village, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a smaller place such as Ratton Village, commercial washrooms tend to be in schools, pubs, cafés, surgeries, care homes and sports clubs. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Report faulty extraction promptly
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. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
What we are called out for in Ratton Village
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
For a site such as Eastbourne District General Hospital, which lies south-east of Ratton Village, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they’ll work around occupants
Doing it in-house
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal

From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a site in Ratton Village, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.

Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
