Common problems we fix in Wivelsfield
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Office washrooms on sites such as More House Farm Business Centre (to the north of Wivelsfield) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
About our washroom sealing in Wivelsfield
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and a new bead over an old one coming away. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Wivelsfield it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Wivelsfield, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. Tell us your opening times and quiet periods and we’ll plan around them.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
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 signage stays in place until that time.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wivelsfield are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Condensation from failed extract fans
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why act early in Wivelsfield
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Wivelsfield, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
