Mastic man in Guildford

Your local mastic man for Guildford

Guildford mixes a historic county town with a university, a big hospital and a busy business park, so the sealant work here is varied. Mr Mastic covers Guildford from our base in Crawley, working in Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Onslow Village and the town centre on baths, showers, kitchens, windows, doors and outside joints.

We never seal over old silicone. Then we choose a sealant for the place it’s going: anti-fungal silicone in a shower, food-safe near a sink, flexible weatherproof mastic outside. If you want the new bead to match grey grout, coloured tiles or a cream bath, we offer colour-matched resealing too.

Charlotteville, Onslow Village and the growing suburbs

Guildford’s housing tells the story of its growth. Charlotteville, laid out from 1862, was one of the first planned suburbs in Britain, and its heart is now a conservation area. Victorian houses there often keep timber windows and painted joinery, where the joint between frame and brick needs a sealant that stays flexible and can be painted. On traditional sash windows, our page on traditional sand mastic explains a long-lasting option.

After the First World War, Onslow Village was planned as a garden city; only around 600 houses were built, and parts of it are also designated. Westborough followed in the 1920s and Dennisville in 1934, and Merrow and Burpham grew from villages into large suburbs. Many of these interwar and post-war homes now have their second or third bathroom, and we often find bath seals torn where the bath has moved, or uPVC windows whose mastic has hardened and cracked.

Newer homes add their own work. The old Stoughton barracks were redeveloped for housing in the 1990s, and newer flats and estates continue to appear around the town. Developer sealant in these homes often cracks in the first year or two as everything settles and dries.

Our services in Guildford

• 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.
• Window & door mastic: Cracked or shrunken mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors replaced with a weatherproof sealant.
