Mastic man in Chichester

Your local mastic man for Chichester

Chichester is a small city with a lot of old buildings, and old buildings ask more of a sealant than a modern box does. Mr Mastic, based in Crawley, covers Chichester and the villages around it, resealing baths, showers, basins and kitchen worktops, and renewing the mastic around windows and doors.

In a listed or period house, how the joint looks matters almost as much as how it performs. A thick white bead against a Georgian sash or a cream-painted bathroom can spoil the room. We match sealant colour to the surface where we can, keep beads neat and slim, and choose products that suit the materials either side of the joint. Our colour-matched resealing page shows how that works.

Roman streets, Georgian fronts and new neighbourhoods

The centre of Chichester still follows its Roman plan, with North, South, East and West Streets meeting at the market cross, and the conservation area covers the whole of the Roman town. Inside it are many listed buildings, including Georgian townhouses in and around the Pallants. Timber sash windows, lime-based walls and decades of repainting mean the joint around a frame may be uneven, and a stiff, heavy-handed seal can trap damp. We cut out failed mastic carefully and, where a joint must be painted, we’ll suggest a suitable paintable sealant rather than silicone.

Beyond the walls, the city spreads out into later streets and family housing. To the north, the former Graylingwell Hospital, opened in 1897, has been turned into Graylingwell Park, with ward blocks converted into apartments alongside new homes. To the west, the Whitehouse Farm development off Old Broyle Road is adding hundreds more.

New homes settle in their first couple of years, and showers and baths are often the first places builder sealant gives way. If yours has cracked already, our new build mastic page explains what we check and how we fix it.

Our services in Chichester

• 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: Cracked or shrunken mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors replaced with a weatherproof sealant.
• Commercial & hotel sealant: Commercial washrooms, kitchens and wet areas resealed floor by floor, so only a few rooms are out of use at once.
