Mastic man in North Baddesley

Mastic and sealant work in North Baddesley

North Baddesley is a large village in Test Valley, about five kilometres east of Romsey and ten north of Southampton, with Chandler’s Ford, Rownhams and Nursling as close neighbours. In 1901 it had fewer than 400 people. Today most of its homes date from the post-war decades, when growth in Southampton and Eastleigh brought large estates to what had been farmland and common. Mr Mastic covers North Baddesley from our base in Crawley.

We reseal baths, showers, basins, toilets and kitchens, and renew mastic around windows and doors. Most homes here have had at least one bathroom refit, and the sealant from that refit has usually reached the end of its life. Our guide to what affects the cost of a mastic man explains what goes into a quote, so you know what to expect before we start.

1960s and 1970s estates, with newer homes alongside

The modern village south of Botley Road was built on land once owned by the Willis Fleming family, whose name lives on in Willis Avenue and Fleming Avenue. Much of the housing dates from the 1960s and 1970s, with semi-detached and detached family houses and bungalows set along curving estate roads. The newest estate, off Rownhams Road, was finished in 2008, and neighbouring Valley Park, built from 1981, adds around 3,000 more homes across the Eastleigh boundary.

Homes from the 1960s and 1970s often have bathrooms that have been refitted several times, with acrylic baths that flex when full and shower enclosures added later. Sealant in these bathrooms tends to crack along the long edge of the bath and go mouldy in the corners. Kitchen worktop joints are another common job, especially where the worktop meets a tiled splashback.

The newer homes have their own needs, as early settling can open up joints in the first few years. Our new-build sealant snagging article lists the joints worth checking in a young house, from shower trays to external door frames.
