Mastic man in Lambeth

Sealant jobs we do in Lambeth

Lambeth runs from the South Bank and Waterloo through Kennington, Vauxhall, Stockwell and Brixton down to Streatham and West Norwood. It is a borough of flats as much as houses, and in a flat a failing seal is rarely just your problem: it can mark the ceiling of the home below. We take that seriously on every job.

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley and covers all of Lambeth. We reseal baths, showers and kitchens, replace cracked window and door mastic and seal external joints. Old sealant always comes out completely before anything new goes in; our guide on sealing over old silicone explains why.

Terraces, mansion flats, estates and towers

Lambeth has more than 60 conservation areas. Kennington is known for Georgian and Victorian terraces in yellow London stock brick, with the Duchy of Cornwall’s Neo-Georgian housing added from 1915, and Roupell Street near Waterloo keeps well-preserved Georgian houses. Around Clapham Common there are buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, with streets of mid to late 19th century housing beyond. These older houses often have timber sash windows, and the mastic around them has usually been painted over so many times it has cracked.

In Brixton, many large Victorian houses on the main roads were converted into flats early in the 20th century, and in Streatham large numbers of blocks of flats went up along the High Road in the 1930s. After the war came council estates such as Loughborough in Brixton, a mix of 1940s low-rise blocks and 1960s and 1970s towers and houses. Shared walls and floors mean a leak from one bathroom can travel.

Vauxhall is now an area of high-density new homes and offices. Bathrooms in new towers are compact and often internal, so steam stays trapped. Developer sealant there commonly fails early; our guide to new build sealant snagging shows what to report.
