Resealing and mastic work across Pembury
Pembury is a large village just north-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, best known locally for its village green and for the hospital on its western edge. It is mainly a commuter village, and most of its homes are family houses, a higher share of them detached than in the borough as a whole. Mr Mastic covers Pembury from our base in Crawley, resealing bathrooms, en-suites and kitchens and renewing the mastic around windows and doors.
Bigger houses usually mean more than one bathroom, and it’s common for the en-suite to fail first because it gets daily use and less airflow. We cut out the old sealant, clean and treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone, so the shower looks right and stays sound. Our guide to how long silicone sealant lasts explains when it’s time to redo it.
Five hamlets that became one village
Pembury grew from five hamlets, Upper Green, Lower Green, Hawkwell, Bo-Peep and Romford, which merged during the twentieth century. Its older core is the conservation area around The Green, recorded on a map as early as 1629, with the Upper Church of St Peter, built in 1847 of local sandstone, and the listed Pembury Manor nearby. Older cottages and houses here often have small, awkward bathrooms and timber frames, and the joints around them need flexible sealant that copes with seasonal movement.
During the twentieth century, several large private estates were built, including Woodhill Park, Ridgeway and Beagleswood. Detached homes make up the largest share of the parish, and around seven in ten homes have three or more bedrooms. In these houses we often find a family bathroom that has been refitted once and an en-suite that hasn’t been touched since it went in, with shrunken silicone around the tray and a seal at the bath edge that has pulled away.
Most recent growth has been infill, and more flats have been added since 2011. The borough’s Local Plan proposes around 300 more homes across several sites around the village.
Big family houses, en-suites and newer flats
On the larger estates, the sealant jobs tend to come in groups: two or three bathrooms, the kitchen, and uPVC windows and patio doors whose mastic has hardened after years of sun. It’s usually quicker and better value to do them all in one visit, and we can tell you which joints genuinely need replacing and which still have life left.
The newer flats and infill homes bring their own problems. New buildings settle, and builders’ sealant around showers and worktops often cracks within the first couple of years. In a flat, that can mean water through the ceiling below. Our shower resealing service cuts out the failed seal and replaces it properly.
Hospital neighbours, Kent College and the Camden Arms
Tunbridge Wells Hospital, run by Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, opened in 2011 as the first acute NHS hospital in Britain where every inpatient has their own en-suite room. Around a site like that, care homes, clinics and rented rooms for staff all have bathrooms that need hygienic, well-kept sealant, and we can work around residents and shifts.
Kent College, Pembury, a girls’ boarding and day school, and the Camden Arms, built as a coaching inn overlooking The Green, are part of the village too. Schools, hotels and pubs all have washrooms and kitchens where we can reseal out of hours.

Questions from Pembury
Do you cover all of Pembury?
Yes. We cover the whole village, from the area around The Green to Woodhill Park, Ridgeway and Beagleswood, and nearby Tunbridge Wells, High Brooms and Matfield.
Can you reseal several bathrooms in one visit?
Yes. In larger houses we often do the family bathroom, en-suites and kitchen together, so you only have one day of disruption.
Do you work in care homes near the hospital?
Yes. We use hygienic, anti-bacterial silicone and can work room by room around residents and staff.
My house is near The Green. Do you work on older windows?
Yes. We replace hardened mastic around timber and uPVC frames, using a flexible sealant that suits the frame and the wall.
Our en-suite sealant keeps going black. What can we do?
We cut it out, treat the mould and reseal with anti-fungal silicone. Better ventilation and drying the tray after use help it last.
Can you reseal a shower in a new flat that’s leaking downstairs?
Yes. We’ll check the seals around the tray and screen and replace them. If a pipe is leaking, you’ll need a plumber first.
Do you work for schools during the holidays?
Yes. Holidays are a good time to reseal washrooms and changing rooms, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
