Sealant jobs we do in Storrington
Storrington sits at the foot of the north side of the South Downs, with Kithurst Hill rising behind the rooftops. Since 2003 it has shared a parish with neighbouring Sullington, as Storrington and Sullington, in Horsham District. Mr Mastic is based in Crawley and covers Storrington and the villages around it for bath, shower and kitchen resealing, window and door mastic and external joints.
Most calls start the same way: the sealant around the bath or shower has gone black, or is peeling away at one corner. We do not add a fresh line on top. The old silicone is cut out and scraped back, the joint is cleaned and dried, and new sanitary silicone goes on in a colour to suit. For bathrooms where everything else is fine but the seals look tired, our bathroom resealing page sets out what a visit involves.
An old village centre ringed by post-war housing
Storrington has an old centre around the High Street and Church Street, where St Mary’s church stands, and older buildings line the lanes nearby. Since 1945 the village has expanded with a series of housing projects, so much of it today is post-war and later housing: bungalows, semi-detached and detached family homes, and small closes. Place names such as The Warren, Warren Hill, Sullington Warren and Warren Croft show where some of that growth reached.
Older houses near the centre bring uneven walls, timber floors and window frames that have been painted many times. Sealant here has to bridge gaps that are rarely straight, and around timber frames it sometimes needs to take paint, which silicone will not. In the post-war homes, many bathrooms have been refitted more than once, and we often find two or three layers of old sealant that need to come out before anything else.
In a bungalow, with everything on one level, the bathroom often sits on an outside wall with a small window. That makes condensation a regular visitor. Good ventilation and anti-fungal silicone go a long way towards keeping the new bead clean.
Downland weather and older buildings
Being tucked under the Downs gives Storrington some shelter, but frames facing south towards the hills still take strong sun in summer, and mastic on those elevations dries and cracks first. Outside, we cut back to sound material, use backing rod in deep joints and finish with a flexible weatherproof sealant that moves with the frame. Our external joints page covers the gaps we seal between frames, walls, sills and render.
For older and listed buildings in the village, we will talk through the sealant choice before we start, as a paintable or more traditional product may suit the frame better than silicone. In flats above High Street shops, access is usually through a side door or rear stair, so we plan the visit and parking with you in advance.
High Street shops, halls and rented homes
The High Street is Storrington’s main shopping street, with a Waitrose near the bus station and a mix of shops and cafés around it. Customer toilets, staff kitchens and washrooms in High Street premises all need resealing now and then, and we can work before opening or after closing so trade carries on as normal.
We also reseal for landlords and letting agents with homes in Storrington, Sullington and the villages nearby, usually between tenancies or when a tenant reports mould.

Our services in Storrington
- Bathroom & kitchen resealing: Bathroom and kitchen joints taken back to a clean, dry surface and finished with fresh anti-fungal silicone that won’t lift.
- Window & door mastic: Window and door mastic that has dried out in the sun replaced with a weather-resistant joint that can move with the frame.
- Commercial & hotel sealant: Commercial washrooms, kitchens and wet areas resealed floor by floor, so only a few rooms are out of use at once.

Questions we’re asked in Storrington
Do you cover all of Storrington?
Yes. We cover the whole village, from the High Street and Church Street to The Warren and Sullington, along with Washington, Pulborough and Steyning nearby.
My bungalow bathroom gets a lot of condensation. Will new sealant help?
New anti-fungal silicone helps, but airing the room matters too. We can reseal and talk you through simple ways to cut the damp.
Can you seal around painted timber windows on an older house?
Yes. Where the joint needs painting, we use a suitable paintable sealant rather than silicone and explain the difference first.
Can you work in a High Street shop outside opening hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours working can be arranged for commercial jobs.
There are three layers of old sealant round my bath. Is that a problem?
Yes, it traps moisture and mould. We strip every layer back to clean surfaces before resealing.
Do you reseal for landlords in Storrington and Sullington?
Yes. We work between tenancies and can quote for several homes together.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Most take a few hours, including removing the old sealant. Leave it around 24 hours before use.
