Commercial sealant in Rodmell

When it isn’t the sealant

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:

  • Extraction that isn’t working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
  • Tiles coming off the wall
  • Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

Commercial sealant for homes and businesses in Rodmell

Mouldy or split sealant in a commercial building causes more than a bad impression. Cleaners struggle with it, water gets through it and people notice it. We reseal bathrooms, washrooms, welfare areas and kitchens so they look cared for again. We’re often asked to deal with failed joints in office kitchens and tea points and water marks on ceilings under bathrooms, on office washrooms & kitchens, retail & leisure sites and hotel bathrooms.

In a village or hamlet like Rodmell, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.

You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Commercial sealant in Rodmell: local notes

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Rented homes near Southease station change hands often, and we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals. Community buildings like St Peter's Church are part of the picture too: its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rodmell

In a building with rooms above rooms, a failed shower seal can soon show on a ceiling below. Then two rooms are out of action, not one. Resealing first is the smaller job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rodmell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What we’re called out for in Rodmell

Shower trays and baths in busy buildings move more: people of all sizes, daily cleaning and constant loading all work at the joint. If a tray flexes, the sealant around it splits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
  • Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
  • Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
  • Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms

If you look after a building such as Priory School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours.

What your quote should include

  • What the cure time is
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Surface by surface

Rental portfolios

For a portfolio, we can quote several addresses together and each property booked in when it’s empty or convenient.

Office washrooms & kitchens

A row of basins on a vanity top has a long joint that collects water. It’s cut out, cleaned and resealed in one neat line.

How to look after the new joints

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

  • Note the date each area was done
  • Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
  • Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
  • Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms

Include sealant in routine room inspections. A quick look at each bathroom when rooms are checked spots problems early.

It’s easier to plan a programme than to react to failures. Rooms can be scheduled around occupancy and staff, rather than closed at short notice.

How the visit works

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms in most cases. Somewhere like Rodmell needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. The first visit is a look round the site to agree the scope.
  2. Working hours are agreed, including early starts or out-of-hours work where it can be arranged.
  3. Each area is protected and stripped of old sealant.
  4. Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
  5. Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Can you reseal every bathroom in a hotel?

Yes, we can. Larger jobs are planned as a room-by-room or floor-by-floor programme, so only part of the building is affected at once.

What do you put in the joint?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
