About our washroom sealing in River
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you have sealant lifting along a tray edge and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in River tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Community buildings around smaller places like River have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What we’re called out for in River
Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Users noticing mouldy joints
For a hall at a building such as The Parish Church of St Peter, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Sanitary sealant for River buildings
Central London is about 42 miles from River. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
For an occupier at a site such as Hampers Common Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the east of River, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Midhurst Community Hospital, 3.2 miles west of River, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.
River is about 12 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. We cover River and the rest of West Sussex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. River is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, about 22 miles away.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
River: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Must every washroom in our River building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
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.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. If others near River need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
