Your local mastic man for Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis is one of the sunniest spots on the south coast, which is lovely for a day on the beach and hard work for sealant. Mr Mastic is based in Crawley and covers Bognor Regis together with Aldwick, Felpham and North and South Bersted. We renew bathroom and kitchen sealant, replace window and door mastic, and seal external joints before the weather finds its way in.
The most common complaint we hear is black spots in the shower sealant that no amount of cleaning will shift. Once mould has grown into silicone it can’t be bleached out properly, and the only lasting fix is to cut it all out, treat the joint and reseal with an anti-fungal product. Our article on why sealant goes mouldy explains why it happens.
Hotham’s resort, royal Aldwick and seaside bungalows
The town began as a resort in the late 18th century, when Sir Richard Hotham, a London hatter, built houses, a hotel and assembly rooms and set up his own brickworks to supply them. By the 1820s smaller houses were going up quickly, and the railway branch from Barnham in 1864 brought another wave of building. In the older streets near the centre, period houses have often been altered many times, and a bath on a timber floor can move enough to tear a hard old bead.
Craigweil’s grounds were later built over as a housing estate, and Aldwick and Felpham became part of the town in 1933. Today those areas, along with the Bersteds, are largely residential, with plenty of bungalows and family homes.
Bungalows bring their own jobs: large picture windows, conservatories and long runs of fascia that all depend on mastic. Where the joints around roofline boards and gutters have failed, our gutter and fascia sealing page explains what we can do.
Strong sun and salt spray
Bognor Regis is one of the sunnier spots on the south coast, and that steady sun bakes external mastic on south and west faces, and salt in the sea air adds to the strain. The sealant hardens, shrinks and lets go of the frame, and wind-driven rain off the Channel does the rest. Outside, we use flexible weatherproof sealants set at the right depth, so the joint can move without splitting.
Resort hotels, holiday lets and a university campus
Tourism is central to Bognor Regis. Butlin’s has three hotels on its resort here, the Shoreline, Ocean and Wave, and the town has guest houses and holiday lets besides. Rooms that change guests every few nights need sealant that looks clean at every changeover. Our sealant for hotels page explains how we work room by room so the rest can stay open.
The University of Chichester also has a campus in the town, bringing student lets and shared houses that need resealing between terms. We work for landlords and letting agents and can quote for several properties together.

Your questions about mastic work in Bognor Regis
Do you cover Felpham, Aldwick and Pagham?
Yes. We cover Bognor Regis and the areas around it, including Felpham, Aldwick, Pagham and North and South Bersted.
Why does the mastic on my bungalow windows keep cracking?
Bognor’s strong sun and salt air dry out external sealant. Hardened mastic can’t flex with the frame, so we replace it with a flexible weatherproof product.
Can you reseal a holiday let between bookings?
Yes. Tell us your changeover dates and we’ll fit the work in, leaving time for the sealant to cure before guests arrive.
Can mouldy shower sealant be cleaned instead of replaced?
Not reliably. Once mould has grown into silicone it comes back, so we remove it and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Do you seal conservatories?
Yes. We reseal the joints where a conservatory meets the house and around its frames, where they can be reached safely.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job has our one-year guarantee.
Can you seal external joints on a seafront property in Bognor?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. We cut out the old mastic, check the joint behind it and use a flexible weatherproof sealant suited to sun and salt air.
