About our commercial sealant in Whitesmith
Wet areas get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and kitchens get a food-safe product where it’s needed. We use sealants from Arbo and Everbuild, applied by ARBOMaster approved applicators. We work on office washrooms & kitchens, retail & leisure sites and rental portfolios, and the jobs we see most are sealant failing again soon after quick repairs and rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants.
Somewhere as small as Whitesmith, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Whitesmith
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Community buildings like The Parish Church are part of the picture too: any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building. If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals.

Near you in Whitesmith
The closest station to Whitesmith is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 4.5 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Hellingly Hospital Railway (4 miles east) and Tickerage Castle (4.6 miles north). Not far away are Selwyns Wood.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
- Check extract fans are actually running
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. A mild cleaner and a soft cloth is enough for the joints.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, so the fix is replacement.
Your questions about commercial sealant in Whitesmith
Is Whitesmith in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Whitesmith is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Whitesmith?
Yes. Whitesmith is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is out-of-hours working possible?
In many cases. Let us know when the building is quietest, and we will plan the work around them.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you work for letting agents and landlords?
Yes. A planned programme across a portfolio keeps things simple, fitting around access to each property.
What does commercial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can the hotel stay open while you work?
Yes, in most cases. Each visit covers an agreed batch of rooms.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we quote for commercial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we are called out for in Whitesmith
Plenty of commercial bathrooms have no window at all, and where extraction is poor, damp hangs around. That’s when black mould sets into the bead.
Look out for these signs:
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
- Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
Managing a site like Chiddingly Primary School? Then busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
