Mastic man in Seaford

Mastic and sealant work in Seaford

Seaford sits right on the shingle, with Seaford Head to the east and the South Downs behind, so its homes see more salt wind than most. When you need a mastic man in Seaford, Mr Mastic covers the town from our base in Crawley. We reseal showers, baths, basins and kitchens, replace failed mastic around windows, doors and conservatories, and seal the outside joints that let damp in.

We start by taking out all of the old sealant, never by covering it. Then the joint is cleaned, treated and left properly dry before the new bead goes on. If you have a coloured bathroom suite or grey tiles, we can match the sealant so the finished joint blends in rather than standing out; our colour-matched resealing page shows the options. Kitchens get the same treatment, with a hygienic sealant along the worktop and around the sink, where splashes and steam do the most damage over time.

Victorian revival, school sites and seaside streets

The railway revived it in the nineteenth century as a small resort and later a commuter and retirement town. As a result, many homes date from the late Victorian period onwards, from tall brick villas near the seafront to the streets and estates that spread across the town through the twentieth century.

For much of that century Seaford was known for its preparatory and independent schools. As those closed, their grounds were used for new housing estates, and former school sites are still being redeveloped. That gives the town a mix of older homes with long-refitted bathrooms and newer houses whose builder sealant is reaching the end of its first life.

Older properties often have small bathrooms and bath-and-shower combinations where the seal takes daily soaking. Newer homes tend to have shower trays and enclosures, where the corners and the bottom of the screen fail first. Our shower resealing page explains where leaks usually start.

Our services in Seaford

• Bathroom & kitchen resealing: Every joint in the bathroom and kitchen, from the bath edge to the worktop, stripped back and resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
• Window & door mastic: Frame perimeters inside and out resealed with flexible, colour-matched sealant, with backing rod where the gap is deep.
• Commercial & hotel sealant: Commercial washrooms, kitchens and wet areas resealed floor by floor, so only a few rooms are out of use at once.
• Remedial sealant & repairs: Failed, botched or over-sealed joints stripped out, the cause found and the joint resealed properly.
• Fire-rated sealant: Fire-rated and intumescent sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations, to the product’s tested details.
• External & façade joints: Expansion joints in brick, render and cladding cut out and renewed at the right depth so they can move without splitting.
• New-build mastic & snagging: Snagging sealant for new homes and plot-by-plot mastic for builders and developers.
• Floor & skirting joints: Movement joints in tiled and concrete floors, and skirting gaps, sealed so they stay tidy and keep dirt out.
• Regrouting: Crumbling grout in showers and wet areas raked out and refilled, so water stays out of the wall behind.
• Glazing & conservatory sealant: Leaking conservatory and rooflight joints, glass panels and shower screens resealed with silicone made for glass.
• Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing: Gutter unions, outlets and fascia joints that leak in heavy rain cleaned and resealed.
• Sand mastic for sash & case windows: Traditional burnt sand mastic renewed around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick.
