Resealing and mastic work across Egham
Egham is a university town, a commuter town and a Thames-side town all at once, and each of those brings its own sealant jobs. Mr Mastic covers Egham from our base in Crawley, working in houses and flats from Englefield Green down to Egham Hythe, Thorpe and Pooley Green.
The single most common call we get from a town like this is a shower that has gone black or started to leak in a busy shared house. The fix is the same wherever it is: the old silicone is cut out completely, the mould underneath is treated, the joint is dried, and a new bead of anti-fungal silicone goes on. Our shower resealing page explains the process, including the tray and screen joints that are easy to miss.
Student lets, new apartments and riverside streets
Royal Holloway’s campus lies about a mile west of the town centre, close to Englefield Green, and the university shapes a lot of the local housing. Englefield Green is mostly residential, with large gardens, but its western ward has hundreds of privately rented and social rented homes, and a run of neo-Gothic stone and brick former college halls just north of the centre now serves as student halls of residence.
In the town centre, the Magna Square scheme, formerly known as Egham Gateway West, was planned to bring new apartments, affordable rented homes, student accommodation and an Everyman cinema into the heart of the town. New flats bring their own pattern of failures: builder sealant around trays and baths often cracks in the first year or two as the building settles. Our new build mastic page covers what we check.
Further out, Egham Hythe lies between Egham and Staines, with Thorpe Lea and Thorpe to the south. Many of the family houses here have been refitted more than once, so we often find layers of old sealant and uPVC window mastic that has hardened and pulled away.
Shared houses, blocks of flats and flood-prone ground
In a house of five or six students, a shower seal is used many times a day and rarely dried. It is the seal most likely to fail by the end of the academic year, and if the bathroom is upstairs, the first sign is often a stain on the kitchen ceiling. Resealing in the summer gap between tenancies gives the silicone time to cure properly before anyone uses it.
In newer blocks we work with managing agents over access, parking and keys. Parts of Egham Hythe have flooded from time to time, and the Runnymede meadows go under after exceptional winter rain, so on low-lying streets we pay close attention to door thresholds and the external joints that keep driving rain out of the walls.
University landlords, offices and the High Street
Letting agents and landlords are the biggest share of commercial sealant work in Egham, and we can quote for several properties in one go. Our guide to sealant for landlords explains how to keep bathrooms in good order between checks.
Egham is also home to company offices, including the headquarters of Spectris and the European headquarters of Enterprise Holdings, and to restaurants and shops around the High Street. Staff showers, kitchens and washrooms in buildings like these need resealing from time to time, and out-of-hours working can be arranged for commercial jobs.

Questions from Egham
Do you cover all of Egham?
Yes. We cover the town centre and High Street, Englefield Green, Egham Hythe, Thorpe Lea, Pooley Green and Thorpe, and nearby Virginia Water.
Can you reseal bathrooms in a student house over the summer?
Yes. The gap between tenancies is the best time, as the new silicone can cure without the shower being used.
I rent out several houses near Royal Holloway. Can you do them together?
Yes. We can quote for several properties at once and work around your changeover dates.
The shower seal in my new apartment has already cracked. Why?
New buildings settle and showers get heavy use, so builder sealant often fails early. We cut it out, prime where needed and reseal.
Water is coming through the ceiling under our shower. Is it the sealant?
Often it is a failed tray or screen seal. We can check and reseal it, though a leaking pipe needs a plumber first.
Can you seal around doors on a street that has flooded before?
Yes. We cut out failed mastic around frames and thresholds and use a flexible weatherproof sealant once the walls are dry.
Do you work in offices out of hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours working can be arranged for commercial jobs.
