Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around West Dean can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.

Washroom sealing in West Dean
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. We work on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and vanity units and basins, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sealant lifting along a tray edge and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in West Dean it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller places such as West Dean 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When to call us in West Dean
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
For a campus such as University of Chichester, 4.2 miles to the south of West Dean, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.

Your questions answered
Is West Dean off your patch?
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 will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as Chichester Centre somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
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.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What affects the price in West Dean
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
