How we handle washroom sealing in Sharpthorne
Whether it’s a single toilet block in Sharpthorne or a programme across several buildings, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant behind washroom basins and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, across vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Sharpthorne? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller places such as Sharpthorne still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Quoting for work in Sharpthorne
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Your questions answered
Will the toilets in our Sharpthorne building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
Would you work within a site like Queen Victoria Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
When to call us in Sharpthorne
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
Office washrooms on sites such as Hangdown Mead Business Park, under half a mile to the south-east of Sharpthorne, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sharpthorne are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.
