Questions we are asked in Rustington

Is Rustington too small for you to travel to?

No. Places such as Rustington are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Does a hotel in Rustington need to shut while its sealant is renewed?

Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The plan is built around your bookings.

How long do sealant joints last?

There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.

Can washrooms stay open while you work?

We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.

Does the weather affect the work?

Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.

About our washroom sealing in Rustington

Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. Site teams most often ask us about panel joints letting water behind and failed sealant behind washroom basins, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Rustington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

A place of Rustington’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.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Rustington

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

When to bring in a specialist

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Wet areas in Rustington’s workplaces

Rustington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Nine care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Rustington. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.

For a school such as Rustington Community Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

What we can’t put right

Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
  • Water from plumbing, not from a joint
  • Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint

Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work in Rustington

  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • Urinals and WCs
  • Kitchens and tea points
  • Vanity units and basins
  • IPS panels and cubicles

Signs you need washroom sealing in Rustington

Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.

Typical triggers for a call:

  • Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
  • Mould spotting along silicone joints
  • Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
  • Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean

Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Zachary Merton Hospital, under half a mile south-east of Rustington, need cleanable, sound silicone.

Before you book anyone

  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
  • Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Who will actually carry out the work

How to choose a sealant contractor

From enquiry to sign-off

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For a job in Rustington, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.

  1. We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
  2. We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
  3. The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
  4. Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
  5. A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
  6. Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.

Before we start on site

  • Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Make sure the joints can be reached
