Sealant jobs we do in Hullbridge
Hullbridge is a riverside village in the north-west of Rochford District, bounded by the River Crouch on one side and green belt on the other three. It has more than two miles of river frontage, hundreds of moorings and three yacht clubs, and around 7,000 residents, most of whom live in the streets either side of Ferry Road. Mr Mastic covers the village from our base in Crawley.
The jobs are the ones every home needs sooner or later: a bath or shower reseal, a kitchen worktop or sink re-done, or window and door mastic renewed before rain finds its way in. Each one starts with stripping the old sealant right out, because new silicone laid over old fails quickly. If you have been tempted to do just that, read our piece on sealing over old silicone first.
A plotland village that grew after the war
A century ago Hullbridge had only about 50 homes, along Hullbridge Road, Lower Road, Ferry Road and Pooles Lane. In the 1920s, much of the farmland that now makes up the village was sold off as plotland, mostly for small holiday homes, as happened across the river at South Woodham Ferrers. Growth stayed slow until after the Second World War, then came in bursts from the 1960s, and today around 75 roads branch off either side of Ferry Road.
The result is a village of about 2,850 homes of many types and ages. Roughly one in six is a mobile or park home, across five mobile home parks, and a large number of the residential roads are unadopted. Later decades added flats and replacement houses on old plots, and the council has planned for around 500 more homes.
Each kind of home brings its own sealant work. Park homes have compact bathrooms and kitchens, often with lightweight shower trays that flex, so the seal needs to be flexible and well bonded. Older plotland houses that have been extended and refitted over the years tend to have several generations of sealant to remove.
Park homes, riverside damp and unadopted roads
In a park home, a failed shower or bath seal can let moisture into the floor long before it shows. We reseal trays, baths and basins with anti-fungal sanitary silicone and check the joint is sound all the way round. Our anti-mould resealing page explains the products and preparation we use.
Closer to the Crouch, the air is damper, and frames and external joints facing the river take the weather. Where old mastic has cracked, we cut it out and apply a flexible, weatherproof sealant. On unadopted roads, access and parking can vary, so it helps to tell us about the road surface and where we can park when you book.
Yacht clubs, park operators and landlords
Hullbridge’s three yacht clubs have changing rooms, showers and bars that see heavy use through the sailing season, and the mobile home parks have site buildings and homes that need regular sealant care. Local shops and food outlets also have kitchens and toilets that benefit from a proper reseal. We can work out of hours for commercial clients, and we reseal for landlords and letting agents between tenancies.
