Mastic man in Baldock

Resealing and mastic work across Baldock

Baldock is a small town with a wide reach. Its broad High Street and Whitehorse Street are lined with 18th-century fronts, the estates around the edge date from the 20th century, and a large new neighbourhood is planned to the north. Bathrooms and windows in each of those settings fail in different ways, and we tailor the sealant to the house rather than using one product for everything.

Mr Mastic covers Baldock and the villages around it from our base in Crawley. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and kitchen worktops, replace failed mastic around windows and doors, and seal external joints where frames, render and brick meet. If you have just moved into a new home and spotted gaps already, our guide to new build sealant snagging lists what to look for before you report it.

Coaching-town fronts, Clothall Common and the next phase of growth

The town’s wide streets grew out of a medieval market place, and many buildings in the centre date back to the 16th century. Wealth from brewing, malting and road traffic later lined those streets with Georgian houses, often by putting new red brick fronts on older buildings. The Baldock conservation area, designated in 1970, is compact, but it holds about 99 listed buildings. On these homes the joint between an old frame and its brick opening needs to stay flexible and neat, not thick and shiny.

Beyond the centre, Baldock grew through the 20th century as a commuter town, with terraces, semis and bungalows and, to the east, the large Clothall Common estate, built in several phases. Many of those homes have replacement uPVC windows and refitted bathrooms whose sealant is now on its second or third life.

Next comes the land north of Baldock, allocated in the North Herts Local Plan for around 2,800 homes. New homes settle and dry out in their first couple of years, and builder sealant around baths, showers and windows often needs redoing.

What we do in Baldock

• Bathroom & kitchen resealing: Every joint in the bathroom and kitchen, from the bath edge to the worktop, stripped back and resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
• Window & door mastic: Frame perimeters inside and out resealed with flexible, colour-matched sealant, with backing rod where the gap is deep.
• Commercial & hotel sealant: Hotels, offices, washrooms and welfare areas resealed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
• Remedial sealant & repairs: Second opinions on sealant that keeps failing: we strip it out, check for movement or leaks and reseal it properly.
• Fire-rated sealant: Fire-rated and intumescent sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations, to the product’s tested details.
• External & façade joints: Expansion joints in brick, render and cladding cut out and renewed at the right depth so they can move without splitting.
• New-build mastic & snagging: Early-failing sealant in new homes fixed properly, plus mastic packages and snagging for developers.
• Floor & skirting joints: Gaps under skirting boards, tile movement joints and concrete floor joints sealed with a product that suits the traffic.
• Regrouting: Crumbling grout in showers and wet areas raked out and refilled, so water stays out of the wall behind.
• Glazing & conservatory sealant: Glass-to-frame joints on conservatories, rooflights and shower screens cut out and resealed.
• Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing: Leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints resealed with exterior sealant.
• Sand mastic for sash & case windows: Old sand mastic around sash windows and doors raked out and renewed with traditional burnt sand mastic.
