Resealing and mastic work across Denmead
Denmead is a large village north of Portsmouth and about three kilometres from Waterlooville, in the City of Winchester district. Around 6,500 people live here, and it has a busy little centre with a chemist, a vet, an ironmonger and an estate agent. For anyone looking for a mastic man in Denmead, Mr Mastic covers the village from our base in Crawley.
Most of what we do here is in family homes: resealing baths and showers, kitchen worktops and basins, and replacing mastic around windows and doors that has cracked or come away. We take every old bead out, clean and dry the joint, and lay new silicone neatly so it looks right and keeps water where it belongs. If you are unsure whether it is time, our guide to how long silicone lasts is a good place to start.
Scattered hamlets that became one village
Denmead used to be widely dispersed, made up of hamlets such as Worlds End, Anmore, Denmead Mill and Barn Green, and only took on a clear identity when All Saints parish was created in 1880. The village centre still has older buildings, including the flint and brick church, but most homes here are from the 20th century onwards, and there has been a lot of housing development in recent years.
Much of the recent building has been by Taylor Wimpey, with McAlpine also building in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Those late-1980s houses are now well over 30 years old, and many still have bathrooms and windows that have been refitted once or not at all. The sealant on them has long since hardened, shrunk or turned black, and it needs cutting out in full.
The newest homes have the opposite problem: sealant that fails early as the house settles. In both cases, the fix is the same careful removal and reseal, with flexible silicone that can move with the bath, tray or frame.
Homes on the edge of the forest
Denmead sits beside part of the Forest of Bere, with Creech Wood nearby, and houses backing onto trees or fields can stay shaded and damp for much of the year. North-facing bathrooms and kitchens in those homes dry slowly, and mould gets into tired sealant quickly. We use anti-fungal sanitary silicone and suggest small changes, such as running the extractor longer, that help it stay clean.
Outside, shade and damp keep window and door joints wet, while the sunny side of the same house dries them out. Either way, old mastic cracks. We replace it with weatherproof external joint sealant, cut and tooled to the right depth.
Village businesses, halls and rented homes
Denmead’s centre has shops and services, and the village has halls and community buildings such as the War Memorial Hall and the Pavilion by King George’s Field. Toilets, kitchens and washrooms in buildings like these see heavy use and need resealing from time to time. Out-of-hours working can be arranged so they stay open when they are needed.
Landlords with rented homes in Denmead can book us between tenancies, and we can quote for more than one property at a time.
The village’s infant and junior schools, and the nursery and youth group at the Pavilion, also have toilets and kitchens that get heavy daily use. We can work in school holidays or at weekends so nothing has to close.

Questions from Denmead
Do you cover all of Denmead?
Yes. We cover the whole village, including Anmore, Furzeley and Worlds End, and nearby Waterlooville, Hambledon and Wickham.
My house was built around 1990. Is the sealant due for replacing?
Very likely. Sealant that old is usually hard, shrunken or mouldy, and a full cut-out and reseal will put it right.
Why does mould keep coming back on my shower seal?
Usually because spores have got under the old bead. We remove it all, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Can you reseal a village hall kitchen?
Yes. Out-of-hours working can be arranged so the hall stays available for bookings.
Do you seal around patio doors?
Yes. We cut out old mastic around patio and French doors and use a flexible weatherproof sealant.
I have just bought a new Taylor Wimpey home and the shower seal is lifting. Can you help?
Yes. Early failure is common as new houses settle. Report it to the developer if you are still covered, or we can cut it out and reseal.
Do you work for landlords in Denmead?
Yes. We reseal between tenancies and can quote for several properties together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
