Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Somerley
In a commercial washroom, sealant is typically the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. Most enquiries involve split or peeling sealant at shower trays and stained sealant around pans and urinals, on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Somerley it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Somerley, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Somerley as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Keeping Somerley washrooms open while we work
Somerley is within about 2 miles of the coast, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Somerley is about 59 miles from central London. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
Halls linked to places like St James' Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. On a healthcare site such as St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north-east of Somerley), washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. Office washrooms on sites such as Enborne Business Park (2.8 miles south-east of Somerley) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.

What affects the price in Somerley
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Rural sites near Somerley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Commercial clients in Somerley
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Somerley can sit alongside others in a wider programme across West Sussex.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Questions about Somerley
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Somerley for resealing?
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.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Richard's Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
