Sealant jobs we do in Romsey
Romsey is one of the principal towns of the Test Valley borough, with a parish population of 14,768 at the 2011 Census. It is a market town that grew up around its Norman abbey, on the River Test, and it is within 10 miles of both the M27 and M3. Mr Mastic covers Romsey and the surrounding villages from our base in Crawley.
We reseal baths, showers, kitchens and basins, renew mastic around windows and doors, and put right sealant that someone else has done badly. That last one is more common than you might think: sealant laid over old sealant, or squeezed into a gap that needed backing rod. Our remedial sealant page explains how we strip it back and start again.
Listed buildings in the centre, family homes around it
The centre of Romsey has a remarkable run of old buildings. Romsey Abbey, built between 1120 and 1140, is the largest Church of England parish church in Hampshire. Nearby are King John’s House, a 13th-century Grade I listed building, the Corn Exchange of 1864, which is Grade II*, and the White Horse Hotel, an 18th-century coaching inn with timber frames going back to the 1450s. On the river, Sadler’s Mill was restored in 2005.
Around Market Place, Church Street and Bell Street, many older buildings have shops below and homes or offices above. In buildings this old, walls and window openings are out of square, timber moves, and the wrong sealant can do harm. For listed buildings, any change to windows or their surrounds may need consent, so we will talk through what is like-for-like before we start, and use paintable or traditional products where they suit the building better than silicone.
Beyond the centre, most homes are family houses and bungalows, with the usual jobs: sealant around a bath that has split, mould along a shower tray, and uPVC window mastic that has gone hard. Romsey is also popular with retired people, and for some, a reseal is part of fitting a walk-in shower or wet room.
Glazing, conservatories and old frames
Older houses around the town centre often have a mix of original timber windows and later replacements, and many family homes have conservatories or glazed extensions. The seals around glazing and roof panels take a lot of sun, and once they shrink or crack, rain finds its way in. Our glazing sealant page covers the products and joint sizes we use.
Where a building is split into flats over shops, a failed shower seal tends to show up on the ceiling below, and parking close to the centre can be tight. We can agree access and timings with the owner or managing agent so the job is done in one visit. We bring dust sheets and keep the work area tidy, which matters in a home that is also above a working shop.
Shops, hotels, restaurants and business parks
Romsey’s town centre has independent shops, including the Bradbeers department store, a Waitrose that has traded here since 1969, the White Horse Hotel and the Plaza theatre, along with plenty of cafés and restaurants. Customer toilets, guest bathrooms and commercial kitchens all need resealing from time to time, and our sealant work for restaurants is planned around service.
The town also has three industrial and trading estates, and Southampton Science Park and Roke Manor Research are nearby. Out-of-hours working can be arranged for any commercial job, and we reseal for landlords and letting agents between tenancies.
