Mastic man in Reigate

Resealing and mastic work across Reigate

Reigate is an old market town with a castle mound, a priory park and a High Street of listed buildings, sitting beneath the North Downs at Reigate Hill. It runs into Redhill to the east, but it has a character all its own, and many of its homes ask for a neater, more careful finish. Mr Mastic is based in Crawley and covers Reigate and the villages around it.

We reseal baths, showers and kitchens, renew the sealant around windows and doors and look after external joints. In period homes, how the work looks matters as much as how well it seals, so we match the colour of the sealant to the bath, tiles or frame. Our colour-matched resealing page shows the kind of finish we aim for.

Listed fronts, Victorian villas and later family homes

Reigate is recorded in the Domesday Book, and its centre still shows its age. Many High Street buildings are listed, and some Georgian brick fronts hide much older timber-framed cores. The Old Town Hall dates from the 18th century. In buildings like these, walls are rarely straight and joints move, so a stiff sealant soon cracks. We take care to use products that suit old materials, and we’ll tell you where a paintable sealant would be the better choice.

The town grew in the later 19th century, after the railway reached it in 1849, with larger Victorian houses at places such as Wray Park. Many of these homes have tall windows, bay frames and bathrooms carved out of former bedrooms. Where timber windows survive, the joint between frame and brick needs a sealant that can flex with the wood.

Later houses fill the slopes and the roads towards Redhill, Woodhatch and South Park, most now with replacement uPVC windows. After twenty years of sun, the mastic on those frames has usually hardened. Our window mastic guide explains when it is worth replacing.
