Sealant jobs we do in Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill is a short drive down the A23 from our Crawley base, and we cover the whole town along with the villages around it. As your mastic man in Burgess Hill, we reseal baths, showers and basins, renew kitchen worktop and sink joints, and replace the mastic around windows and doors.
Kitchens come up here more than you might expect. The joint between worktop and upstand takes splashes, steam and the occasional knock, and when the sealant shrinks, water can creep behind and swell the worktop edge. We cut out the old bead, clean and dry the joint, and use a colour that suits the worktop, with a food-safe product near the sink. Our kitchen resealing page has more detail.
A railway town that keeps on growing
Burgess Hill took shape after the London to Brighton railway arrived in 1841. Between 1850 and 1880 it grew from a rural village into a town of about 4,500 people, and many Victorian detached houses and terraced workers’ cottages from that period survive. In these older homes, bathrooms have usually been squeezed in or refitted several times, and we often find sealant laid over sealant or joints packed with filler.
The town nearly doubled in size between 1951 and 1961, and estates followed in the 1970s and 1980s at Folders Lane, Oak Hall Park, Sheddingdean and West End Meadows, with Hammonds Ridge in the early 1990s. Many of these homes still have their first-generation uPVC windows, and the mastic around them has hardened after decades of sun.
The newest growth is Brookleigh, the 3,500-home neighbourhood on the north side of the town. New homes settle as they dry out and are lived in, and builder sealant often fails in the first year or two. In Crawley, we resealed a Forge Wood shower that had failed after just 16 months for exactly this reason. Our new build snagging guide covers what to check.
Clay ground and moving joints
The town has a long history of brick and tile making from local clay, and houses on clay ground can shift a little between wet winters and dry summers. That movement pulls at external mastic around frames and at joints between extensions and the original house. We use flexible exterior sealants with backing rod where needed, so the joint can move without tearing.
Business parks, schools and growing rental demand
Victoria Business Park, the larger of the town’s two business parks, and Sheddingdean Business Park together host around 200 companies. Their offices, warehouses and units have staff washrooms, kitchens and external joints that need regular attention. Our commercial sealant page explains how we work on site, and out-of-hours visits can be arranged.
The town also has several schools and a growing rental market, so we reseal for landlords, letting agents and facilities teams, and can quote for a group of properties together.

Your questions about mastic work in Burgess Hill
How quickly can you get to Burgess Hill?
It’s a short drive from our base in Crawley, so we can usually offer visits at times that suit you. Call to check availability.
My new Brookleigh home’s bath sealant has cracked already. Is that normal?
It’s common. New houses settle and builder sealant often can’t keep up. We remove it and reseal with a flexible sanitary silicone.
Why is my sealant mouldy when the bathroom looks clean?
Mould comes from moisture, not just dirt. Poor ventilation and condensation are usually to blame, so we use anti-fungal silicone and suggest airing the room.
Can you reseal my kitchen worktop by the sink?
Yes. We use a colour that suits the worktop, with a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Do you work at Victoria Business Park?
Yes. We reseal staff kitchens, washrooms and external joints at business premises, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will the window mastic on my 1980s house need replacing?
If it has hardened, cracked or pulled away, yes. We cut it out and use a flexible weatherproof sealant in a colour to match.
Do you cover Hassocks and nearby villages?
Yes. We cover Burgess Hill and the surrounding Mid Sussex villages.
My Victorian cottage has layers of old sealant around the bath. Can you sort it?
Yes. We strip every old layer and any loose filler back to a clean, dry joint, then reseal so the new bead bonds properly to the bath and tiles.
