Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How a job runs

When we get to site, 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 normally taking a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Smaller jobs around Rusper can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
  2. The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
  3. Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
  4. Joints are degreased and dried.
  5. A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
  6. Rooms reopen after the cure time.

Before we start on site

  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Confirm the product named in the specification

Getting a fixed quote

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Do you need washroom sealing in Rusper?

Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.

What tends to prompt an enquiry:

  • Panel joints letting water behind
  • Users noticing mouldy joints
  • A new bead over an old one coming away
  • Sealant lifting along a tray edge

Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as St Mary Magdalene church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • The named product and why it was chosen
  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

After the work

Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:

  • Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
  • Include joints in routine washroom inspections
  • Make sure washroom ventilation is running
  • Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote

Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.

A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.

Washroom sealing in Rusper: the local picture

Rusper is about 27 miles from central London. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.

On an industrial estate such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the south-east of Rusper, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Crawley Hospital, 3.6 miles east of Rusper, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

Rusper is about 4 miles west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Our applicators travel to Rusper for work on washrooms and wet areas. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, Rusper among them. Brighton is covered too, some 21 miles away.

General trades versus a specialist

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces 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. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

How the quote is worked out

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:

  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • The size and state of each joint
  • How accessible the joints are
  • The site’s rules and procedures

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

What to include in your enquiry

Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:

  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • The product your specification calls for
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

FAQs: Rusper

Do we have to close all our washrooms in Rusper for resealing?

Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.

Is Rusper too small for you to travel to?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

When can showers be used after new sealant?

Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.

What do you charge?

It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.

Can you quote from photographs?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.

Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?

We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

When it isn’t the sealant

Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:

  • Condensation from failed extract fans
  • Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
  • Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops

If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
