Mastic man in Chigwell

Sealant jobs we do in Chigwell

Chigwell is best known for large houses on generous plots, and the bathrooms in them tend to match: walk-in showers, wet rooms, standalone baths and walls of porcelain or stone. When the sealant in a room like that starts to discolour or peel, it spoils the whole finish. Mr Mastic travels from our base in Crawley to reseal those rooms carefully, and to look after the rest of Chigwell’s homes too.

We remove every trace of old silicone, clean and dry the joint, then apply a bead matched to the grout or surface and tooled to a clean, even line. If you have a level-access shower or a wet room, our wet room sealing page explains how we deal with drains, screens and floor-to-wall joints.

Village core, detached roads and Grange Hill

The old village centres on the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, which dates from the 12th century, and the 17th century King’s Head opposite; both are Grade II* listed, and the area around them is the Chigwell Village conservation area. Older houses here can have timber windows and doors that need sealant chosen with care, so it doesn’t look out of place or trap moisture against the wood.

Much of Chigwell is suburban, with big detached houses along Manor Road, Hainault Road and the High Road. Many have been extended or rebuilt, with large glazed doors, bi-folds and roof lanterns that rely on good perimeter mastic. Our glazing sealant service covers those joints. Inside, multiple en-suites mean more joints to maintain, and silicone around showers usually needs attention first.

To the south and east the picture changes. Grange Hill, around the junction of Manor Road and Hainault Road, includes the council-built Limes Farm estate, where Epping Forest District Council has been consulting residents on regeneration. The Manford estate on the south-eastern edge moved to the London Borough of Redbridge in 1965 but still has Chigwell addresses. Chigwell Row, a smaller village to the east, is mostly rural and well wooded.
