Mastic man in Midhurst

Sealant jobs we do in Midhurst

Midhurst is a market town on the River Rother, inside the South Downs National Park and about 12 miles north of Chichester. Its Old Town is full of historic houses, and the town has 106 listed buildings. Mr Mastic is based in Crawley and covers Midhurst, Easebourne and the villages around, resealing baths, showers and kitchens and renewing mastic around windows, doors and external joints.

Old buildings need a lighter touch. We remove failed sealant carefully so we do not damage the surfaces around it, and we talk through product choice before starting, because a modern silicone is not always the right answer on a painted timber frame. In a newer house the job is more straightforward, but the same rule applies: the old bead comes out completely before anything new goes in.

Tudor houses, Georgian fronts and post-war growth

Almost every house in the Old Town dates back to the 16th century. On North Street, many Tudor buildings hide behind Georgian-style fronts added later. Of the town’s listed buildings, 30 are from the 17th century and 32 from the 18th. Victorian and Edwardian terraces line the main roads out of town, and from the mid-20th century onwards new housing spread south into Little Midhurst, Holmbush and the Fairway area, continuing into this century.

Each era brings its own sealant work. In timber-framed and old brick houses, floors and walls move with the seasons, so bath and shower beads need to stay flexible. Painted timber windows may need a paintable sealant rather than silicone. The Midhurst Brickworks made pale “Midhurst White” bricks from 1913 to 1985, and wherever frames meet older brick, the joint needs cleaning back carefully before resealing.

In the post-war and newer homes, the jobs are the familiar ones: hardened uPVC window mastic, worn kitchen joints and showers that have been used hard. Our colour-matched resealing helps a new bead sit neatly against older tiles or worktops.

Our services in Midhurst

• 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: Window and door mastic that has dried out in the sun replaced with a weather-resistant joint that can move with the frame.
• 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: Leaks and lifting beads from earlier sealant jobs put right, starting with finding out why they failed.
• Fire-rated sealant: Intumescent and fire-rated joints around pipes, cables and frames, installed to the manufacturer’s tested specification.
• External & façade joints: Expansion joints in brick, render and cladding cut out and renewed at the right depth so they can move without splitting.
• New-build mastic & snagging: New-build bathrooms, kitchens and frames resealed where the original sealant has cracked as the house settles.
• Floor & skirting joints: Movement joints in tiled and concrete floors, and skirting gaps, sealed so they stay tidy and keep dirt out.
• Regrouting: Cracked, stained or crumbling grout raked out and replaced, with corners resealed in silicone.
• Glazing & conservatory sealant: Leaking conservatory and rooflight joints, glass panels and shower screens resealed with silicone made for glass.
