Mastic man in Esher

Your local mastic man for Esher

Esher grew as a coaching stop on the old London to Portsmouth road, and its High Street, now the A307, still runs for about a mile through the town. Mr Mastic comes over from Crawley to cover Esher and the surrounding parts of Elmbridge, resealing baths, showers, basins and kitchens, and renewing mastic around windows, doors and external joints.

Kitchens are often overlooked. The joint where a worktop meets the wall or the sink takes splashes every day, and once it opens, water soaks into the worktop edge and the units below. Our kitchen resealing service replaces that bead with a hygienic sealant suitable for food areas. As with every job, the old sealant comes out first and the joint is cleaned and dried.

An old village core and a town of detached houses

The heart of Esher is a conservation area, first designated in 1973 and extended since, centred on the historic junction of the old Portsmouth road with the roads to Weybridge and Leatherhead. The Grade I listed Church of St George stands here among other listed buildings. Away from the centre, the 2011 census counted far more detached houses in the Esher ward than any other type, with a smaller number of flats, semis and terraces.

Large detached homes tend to have several bathrooms, en-suites and generous kitchens, and they have often been refitted more than once. That is where we find silicone laid over old silicone, sealant smeared across tiles, or joints filled with the wrong product. Putting that right means proper silicone removal before anything new goes on, so the fresh bead bonds to clean surfaces.

Older properties in and around the conservation area bring their own care points. Walls are rarely true, timber floors flex under a full bath, and the joints around original or replacement windows meet old brick and render. We use flexible sealants that can move with the building, in a colour that suits the setting.
