Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Washroom sealing in Upper Dicker
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. Most enquiries involve gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and a new bead over an old one coming away, across vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Upper Dicker, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls and community buildings near places like Upper Dicker are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Leave it or put it right?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Older rural buildings around Upper Dicker move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Upper Dicker
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Washroom sealing in Upper Dicker: the local picture
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Upper Dicker. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest. Upper Dicker lies roughly 45 miles out from central London. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
Toilets at places like Hailsham Retail Park (to the east of Upper Dicker) are cleaned constantly, so silicone needs to be sound and smooth. Halls linked to places like Holy Trinity host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. Hotels such as Boship Hotel, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Upper Dicker, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, 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, and the work normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For work around Upper Dicker, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Hellingly Hospital Railway?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do hotels near Upper Dicker have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Usually not. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
