Mastic man in West Chiltington

Your local mastic man for West Chiltington

West Chiltington is a rural parish in Horsham District, on the road from Storrington to Broadford Bridge, about two and a half miles north of Storrington, with Pulborough as its post town. The parish also takes in Balls Green, Broadford Bridge and Nutbourne, and the 2001 census counted 1,476 households across it. Mr Mastic covers the whole parish from our base in Crawley.

We reseal baths, showers, wet rooms, basins and kitchens, and we renew the mastic around windows, doors and external joints. In a village like this, homes range from older cottages to houses built much more recently, and the right sealant, and the right way of applying it, depends on the building as well as the joint.

Homes spread across a rural parish

The parish is centred on St Mary’s Church, a Grade I listed building, and its homes are spread across the village and the smaller settlements around it. Whatever their age, family houses tend to gather more sealant joints over time: en suites added over the years, conservatories and extensions, and plenty of windows and doors, each with its own joints to look after.

The common jobs follow from that. Seals around baths and shower trays go mouldy or split; an en suite fitted years ago may never have been resealed at all; and window and door mastic on south and west elevations hardens in the sun and cracks. Our window and door mastic service cuts out the old material and replaces it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant in a colour to suit the frame.

Where older parts of a house meet newer extensions, the joint between the two is often a weak point and is worth checking whenever other mastic is being renewed.
