Mastic man in Ascot

Resealing and mastic work across Ascot

Ascot sits about six miles south of Windsor and four miles east of Bracknell, and it is really three places in one: Ascot itself, North Ascot and South Ascot. Mr Mastic covers all three from our base in Crawley. We cut out and renew tired sealant around baths, showers, basins and worktops, replace cracked mastic around windows and doors, and look after the washrooms and kitchens of the schools, offices and landlords who keep the town ticking.

Homes in and around Ascot are often finished to a high standard, and the people who own them notice a wobbly bead or a smear of silicone on a stone worktop straight away. We take our time over the details: the old sealant comes out completely, the joint is cleaned and dried, and the new bead is tooled to a neat, even line. Where you want the joint to disappear against coloured tiles or a stone surround, we can offer colour-matched resealing rather than plain white.

Victorian churches, post-war parades and large family houses

The town grew up around the railway and the roads to Windsor and Bracknell. Its older buildings include All Saints at Ascot Heath, a red-brick Gothic Revival church of 1864, and St Francis’ Roman Catholic church of 1889, and South Ascot has a good number of Victorian villas. In the town centre, though, most buildings along the wide High Street are post-war, with flats above the shops at ground level.

That mix gives us two quite different kinds of job. In the larger houses, bathrooms are often big, with walk-in showers, separate baths and long runs of stone or tiled worktop in the kitchen. Generous rooms mean long sealant joints, and a long joint shows every flaw. We often find sealant that has yellowed, pulled away at the corners or been patched by someone in a hurry, and it all needs cutting out and redoing in one go so the finish matches.

In the flats over the High Street shops, space is tighter and bathrooms are often compact. Here the risk is a tray or bath seal failing quietly and staining the ceiling of the shop or flat below. Frames on these post-war blocks also take a beating from sun and traffic, and the mastic around them hardens and cracks with age.
