Mastic man in Crowthorne

Sealant jobs we do in Crowthorne

Crowthorne was only a hamlet until Wellington College opened in 1859. Broadmoor Hospital followed in 1863 and the railway station in 1860, and the village grew quickly around them. Today its homes sit mostly in Crowthorne parish, in Bracknell Forest, with part of the built-up area running into Wokingham Without. Mr Mastic covers the whole village from our base in Crawley.

We reseal baths, showers, kitchen worktops and basins, renew window and door mastic, and replace tired joints outside. Every job starts the same way: the old sealant comes out completely, mould is treated, the surface is cleaned and dried, and only then does new silicone go on. Silicone laid over silicone does not bond, so we never cut that corner. If black spots keep coming back, our anti-mould resealing page explains how we deal with it.

From Victorian growth to Edgcumbe Park

The college, the hospital and the railway gave Crowthorne its first wave of houses in the later nineteenth century, and many of those properties have since had kitchens and bathrooms replaced more than once. Layers of old sealant, baths that have dropped a few millimetres on timber floors and worktop joints pulled away from the tiles are typical of what we find.

Edgcumbe Park, off Dukes Ride, is the village’s most recognised estate. It was built between 1958 and 1972 by the Renway Construction Company and is an award-winning example of mid-century modern design. Houses of that era often have generous glazing, and the joints where frames meet brick, timber or panels are usually on their second or third set of mastic. Where the original sealant has hardened, it no longer moves with the frame and splits; we replace it with a flexible, weatherproof bead and backing rod where the gap is deep.

Newer houses have their own pattern. Builder sealant in showers often fails within the first couple of years as the house settles, and our new build mastic page sets out what we check.

• 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.
