Mastic man in Kingston upon Thames

Sealant jobs we do in Kingston upon Thames

If you’re looking for a mastic man in Kingston upon Thames, Mr Mastic covers the whole Royal Borough from our base in Crawley. We cut out tired silicone around baths, showers, basins and kitchen worktops, replace cracked mastic around windows and doors, and seal the outside joints that let damp and draughts into a home. Each job starts with a clear quote and ends with a one-year guarantee.

The borough is a mix of busy town centre, Victorian railway suburb and quieter outer estates, so no two visits are quite the same. One day it’s a family bathroom in an interwar semi; the next, the windows of a top-floor flat near Surbiton station. Whatever the property, we take the old sealant out completely, clean and dry the joint, and lay a fresh, neat bead with the right product for the job, whether that’s anti-fungal sanitary silicone indoors or a flexible, weatherproof mastic around windows and doors.

From Surbiton villas to Chessington semis

Surbiton grew up after its station opened in 1838 and was first developed in the 1840s, which is why its streets still have large 19th-century townhouses and villas, many now divided into flats. The council has designated 26 conservation areas across the borough, including Surbiton Town Centre, Surbiton Hill Park, Kingston Old Town, Coombe Hill and Old Malden. In older houses like these, frames have often been repainted many times and the mastic has gone brittle underneath, so we cut back carefully and choose a colour that suits the joinery.

Further out, the picture changes. The borough’s population nearly doubled between 1901 and 1931, and the 20th century brought semi-detached estates to the outer parts of the borough. These homes have usually had two or three bathroom refits, and the sealant we find is often a mix of old layers, decorator’s caulk and gaps where a bath has settled.

Then there are the newest homes. Kingston’s Cambridge Road Estate, built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, is being replaced with around 2,170 new homes, and new flats keep appearing near the town centre. Developer sealant in new builds often splits in the first year as the building settles; our new-build snagging guide explains what to look for.

Jobs we take on in Kingston upon Thames

• 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: Frame perimeters inside and out resealed with flexible, colour-matched sealant, with backing rod where the gap is deep.
• Commercial & hotel sealant: Commercial washrooms, kitchens and wet areas resealed floor by floor, so only a few rooms are out of use at once.
• Remedial sealant & repairs: Failed, botched or over-sealed joints stripped out, the cause found and the joint resealed properly.
• Fire-rated sealant: Fire-rated sealant for service penetrations and frame gaps where it has been specified, applied to the tested details.
• External & façade joints: Outside movement joints given new backing rod and a flexible, weatherproof sealant in a colour to match the wall.
• New-build mastic & snagging: New-build bathrooms, kitchens and frames resealed where the original sealant has cracked as the house settles.
• Floor & skirting joints: Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints sealed with the right product.
• Regrouting: Crumbling grout in showers and wet areas raked out and refilled, so water stays out of the wall behind.
• Glazing & conservatory sealant: Conservatory, rooflight, glass panel and shower screen joints resealed with glazing silicone.
• Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing: Dripping gutter joints and end caps, and gaps at fascias and soffits, sealed with weatherproof exterior sealant.
• Sand mastic for sash & case windows: Old sand mastic around sash windows and doors raked out and renewed with traditional burnt sand mastic.
