Resealing and mastic work across Leatherhead
Leatherhead grew up at a ford on the River Mole and is now a compact commuter town, about 17 miles from central London, with Fetcham, Ashtead and Bookham close by. Mr Mastic is based in Crawley and covers Leatherhead and these neighbouring villages for all kinds of sealant work.
Baths are one of the most common jobs. A bath that has been sealed empty drops when it is filled, and the bead pulls away from the tiles. We take out the old sealant, clean the joint and reseal with the bath full of water, so the seal is laid at its heaviest. Our bath resealing page explains the method, and the same thorough approach goes into showers, basins, kitchens and window frames.
Edwardian streets, interwar estates and post-war homes
The railways reached Leatherhead from 1859 and brought new residents, but most of the town’s growth came in the 20th century. New streets were laid out from around 1900 along Fairfield, Highlands and Kingston Roads. Council housing followed in the 1920s at Poplar Road and Kingston Road, and private estates such as Givons Grove were built in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
After the Second World War, housing went up north of the centre to replace bomb-damaged homes. Across these eras, most houses now have replacement windows and refitted bathrooms, and the sealant from those refits is the part that wears out first. External mastic on frames twenty or more years old is often hard, cracked and lifting away from the brick.
Leatherhead also has a good share of flats and rented homes, many close to the station and town centre. Shower seals in a busy rental take a lot of use, and small leaks can damage floors before anyone notices. Our guide to sealant for landlords covers what to check between tenancies.
On the edge of the Downs
The town’s position on the edge of the Downs means some homes, especially on the higher roads, catch more wind and rain, while south-facing frames and patio doors take strong summer sun. Mastic on those faces dries out and splits first. We use flexible, weatherproof sealant and backing rod where needed so the new joint can move with the building.
Corporate headquarters and business parks
Leatherhead is home to more big-company offices than you might expect for its size. Esso’s UK headquarters is on the former Goblin factory site, Unilever has UK head offices on the former Central Electricity Research Laboratories site, and Hyundai opened its UK headquarters in the town in 2020. Business parks around the town house many other firms.
Offices like these have washrooms, showers and kitchens that need well-kept sealant, and we can work out of hours so staff aren’t disturbed. Schools such as St John’s, Therfield and Downsend, along with care homes and landlords across the area, have similar needs. In communal washrooms we use anti-bacterial silicone, and we can phase the work so some facilities stay open while others cure.

What we do in Leatherhead
- Bathroom & kitchen resealing: Mouldy or split sealant around baths, shower trays, basins and sinks removed completely and replaced with a neat, hygienic bead.
- Window & door mastic: Hardened, gappy mastic around frames, sills and French or patio doors cut out and renewed to keep draughts and rain out.

- External & façade joints: Split or perished joints in walls and cladding replaced with exterior sealant designed to stretch with the building.
- New-build mastic & snagging: Early-failing sealant in new homes fixed properly, plus mastic packages and snagging for developers.
- Floor & skirting joints: Movement joints in tiled and concrete floors, and skirting gaps, sealed so they stay tidy and keep dirt out.
- Regrouting: Tired or mouldy grout raked out and renewed, and the internal corners finished in flexible silicone.

- Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing: Gutter unions, outlets and fascia joints that leak in heavy rain cleaned and resealed.

Questions we’re asked in Leatherhead
Do you cover Fetcham, Ashtead and Bookham?
Yes. We cover Leatherhead and the nearby villages, including Fetcham, Ashtead, Bookham and Oxshott.
Why has the seal around my bath pulled away?
Often because it was sealed with the bath empty. When the bath is filled it drops, and the bead tears. We reseal with the bath full.
Can you reseal a shower in a rented flat between tenants?
Yes. That is the best time, as the new silicone can cure fully before anyone uses it.
Do you work in offices around Leatherhead?
Yes. We reseal office washrooms, showers and kitchens, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
How soon can I use my bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll confirm the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can you replace the mastic around a patio door?
Yes. We cut out the old mastic, clean the frame and apply a flexible, weatherproof sealant in a colour to suit.
