Mastic and sealant work in Oxted
Oxted sits at the foot of the North Downs in Tandridge district, with Limpsfield running straight into it on the east and Hurst Green and Holland to the south. Mr Mastic covers the town and its neighbours from our base in Crawley, resealing baths, showers, basins and kitchen worktops, renewing mastic around windows and doors, and sealing outside joints that have cracked or come away.
If your shower seal has gone black or a bath joint keeps splitting, the answer is rarely another bead on top. We cut the old sealant out completely, treat any mould behind it and let the surfaces dry before resealing with an anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Our anti-mould resealing page explains what makes the difference.
Old Oxted, New Oxted and the streets in between
Oxted is really two towns divided by the A25. Old Oxted grew up in the 13th and 14th centuries around a crossroads south-east of St Mary’s Church, and its oldest buildings, including 2–6 Godstone Road and The Old Bell, date from the 15th and 16th centuries. New Oxted grew to the north-east after the railway station opened in 1884, and its town centre was built largely in a Tudor style, often with stucco fronts. Around both, Victorian and Edwardian houses with bay windows sit alongside later family homes and newer apartments.
The mix is broad. In the 2011 census the parish had more than 1,400 detached homes, nearly 1,300 semis, around 900 terraced houses and about 800 flats. Hurst Green and Holland are almost wholly residential, with their own station at Hurst Green, while Limpsfield has a conservation area and plenty of older houses.
Each type has its own weak spots. Period bays have several frames, a sill and a roof joint, all relying on mastic. Stucco and render crack fine lines that open up around frames. In the newer flats, compact shower rooms with sliding screens need clean, well-tooled seals. If you’re wondering how long a reseal should last, our guide to how long silicone sealant lasts sets out what to expect.
Stucco fronts, hillside houses and flats over shops
The Tudor-style frontages in New Oxted often have flats above the shops, with access up narrow stairs at the back. In a building like that, a failed bath or shower seal almost always reaches the unit below, so it is worth acting early. We can coordinate with the managing agent or owner about keys, access and parking near Station Road.
Houses on the slopes towards the North Downs catch wind-driven rain on their exposed faces, and render and timber frames move a little through the seasons. When the mastic between frame and wall hardens, it cracks and lets rain in behind. Outside, we use flexible, weatherproof sealants with backing rod where the gap is deep. Where a joint on a painted render front needs painting, we’ll suggest a suitable paintable product, as silicone cannot be painted.
Town centre shops, schools and rented homes
Oxted is home to Tandridge District Council’s offices, Tandridge Leisure Centre, the town’s cinema and a run of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Changing rooms, staff kitchens and washrooms in buildings like these all need resealing over time, and out-of-hours working can be arranged so facilities are not lost during the day. The town also has several schools, including Oxted School and Moor House School and College in Hurst Green.
For landlords and letting agents, we reseal between tenancies and after tenants report mould. Our landlord sealant page explains how we can handle several properties together.

Questions from Oxted
Do you cover all of Oxted?
Yes. We cover Old Oxted, New Oxted and the town centre, Hurst Green and Holland, plus Limpsfield next door.
Can you reseal a flat above a shop in the town centre?
Yes. We bring everything up ourselves and can arrange access with the managing agent or owner if needed.
Our Edwardian bay window leaks in heavy rain. Can mastic help?
Often, yes. We check the frame joints, the sill and the roof joint of the bay, cut out failed mastic and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product.
Can you seal against a painted stucco front?
Yes. Where the joint will be painted, we use a suitable paintable sealant rather than silicone.
Why does mould keep coming back on my shower seal?
Usually because new silicone was laid over old, or the mould underneath wasn’t treated. We remove everything, treat the joint and use anti-fungal silicone.
Do you work for schools and leisure buildings?
Yes. Out-of-hours and holiday working can be arranged for commercial and education jobs.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
