Mastic man in Bovingdon

Resealing and mastic work across Bovingdon

Bovingdon is a village with a lot of variety packed into one parish. It sits in Dacorum, about four miles south-west of Hemel Hempstead and close to the Buckinghamshire border, and its streets run from medieval cottages around the green to mid-century estates, bungalows and homes built in the last few years.

Mr Mastic covers Bovingdon from our base in Crawley. Bathroom and kitchen resealing make up most of our village work, along with window and door mastic, toilet bases and the joints round fascias and external frames. We plan village visits carefully so we arrive with the right sealant and colour for your job, and every old bead is cut out completely before the new one goes on.

Nine character areas in one village

The parish design code divides Bovingdon into nine character areas, and each brings its own sealant work. In the historic core along the High Street, Church Street and around Bovingdon Green, small cottages sit close to the pavement, near the Grade II* Church of St Lawrence. Walls here are rarely straight, and joints round baths and basins vary in width along their length.

Old Dean is a mid-twentieth-century estate laid out around a circular green, mainly two-storey semi-detached houses, with detached houses and bungalows along Chesham Road. Off Pembridge Road, late twentieth-century cul-de-sacs hold terraces, semis and some three-storey apartment blocks. Between HMP The Mount and Chesham Road, the Molyneaux Avenue area has houses and flats, and there are bungalows on Hyde Lane, alongside newer infill such as Farriers Close.

Bungalows are common here, and we’re often asked to reseal around a toilet base or a low-level shower, where a gap can let water under the floor covering. Our toilet base resealing page explains the job. On newer homes, builder’s sealant often gives up in the first couple of years, and our new build mastic service puts it right.

Sealant services across Bovingdon

• Bathroom & kitchen resealing: Baths, showers, basins, wet rooms, worktops and sinks: old sealant cut out, mould treated and a new bead of anti-fungal silicone laid.
• 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: Leaks and lifting beads from earlier sealant jobs put right, starting with finding out why they failed.
• Fire-rated sealant: Intumescent and fire-rated joints around pipes, cables and frames, installed to the manufacturer’s tested specification.
• 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: Early-failing sealant in new homes fixed properly, plus mastic packages and snagging for developers.
• Floor & skirting joints: Gaps under skirting boards, tile movement joints and concrete floor joints sealed with a product that suits the traffic.
• 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: Exterior joints at gutters, fascias and soffits resealed to stop drips and staining down the wall.
