Your local mastic man for Enfield
Enfield is London’s northern edge, a borough of family houses, long suburban roads and town centres at Enfield Town, Edmonton Green, Southgate and Palmers Green. Mr Mastic covers it all from our base in Crawley, resealing baths, showers and kitchens, renewing mastic around windows and doors, and sealing external joints on brick and render.
A lot of the homes here are owner-occupied houses that have had new bathrooms and replacement windows fitted over the decades, and the sealant from those refits is often reaching the end of its life. We remove it fully, clean the joint and apply a new bead suited to the job, whether that’s anti-fungal silicone around a bath or a weatherproof sealant around a bay window.
Edwardian estates, 1930s suburbs and new building
Palmers Green and Grange Park grew quickly before the First World War. The Lakes Estate (once the Old Park Estate) was built up with semi-detached and terraced houses from 1905 to 1914, and Grange Park’s large Arts and Crafts houses date from 1907 onwards; both are now conservation areas, as are Bush Hill Park, Winchmore Hill and Enfield Town. These houses have bay windows, timber frames and old brickwork where mastic joints have been painted over again and again.
Between the wars, the suburbs spread north and west. The Piccadilly line reached Cockfosters in 1933, and estates such as South Lodge in Oakwood went up in the late 1930s, many with steel Crittall windows and curved “suntrap” bays. Where those windows survive, the joints between metal frame and brick need a sealant that copes with expansion; where they’ve been replaced with uPVC, the original installer’s mastic has often shrunk and cracked. Our window mastic guide explains the difference.
In the east, Edmonton Green has been redeveloped since 1999, and Meridian Water, beside the Lee Valley in Upper Edmonton, is planned to bring around 10,000 new homes over 20 years, mostly flats.
Big bay windows, exposed elevations and new blocks
Enfield’s houses tend to have more external mastic than inner London flats: bay windows with several frames, porches, conservatories and patio doors onto long back gardens. On a weather-facing side of the house, failed mastic lets rain in behind sills and frames. We cut out the old joints, use backing rod where gaps are deep, and finish with a flexible, weatherproof sealant; see our external joints page.
In the new blocks around Meridian Water and Edmonton, the jobs are usually inside: settling shower trays, kitchen upstands and bath seals in flats where a leak would reach the home below. Parking is usually easier than in inner London, but tell us about any permits when you book.
Hospitals, industrial estates and rented homes
Enfield has two large hospitals, Chase Farm and North Middlesex, and around them sit surgeries, clinics and care homes that need hygienic, well-kept joints in washrooms and kitchens. Along the A10, industrial and retail sites such as the Great Cambridge Industrial Estate have welfare facilities, showers and loading areas where movement and floor joints need regular attention.
The borough’s shopping centres at Enfield Town, Edmonton Green, Southgate and Palmers Green bring shops, cafés and offices, and there are many rented homes across the borough. We reseal for landlords and letting agents between tenancies and can quote for several properties together.

Jobs we take on in Enfield
- 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: Hardened, gappy mastic around frames, sills and French or patio doors cut out and renewed to keep draughts and rain out.
- 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: Second opinions on sealant that keeps failing: we strip it out, check for movement or leaks and reseal it properly.
- Fire-rated sealant: Fire-rated and intumescent sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations, to the product’s tested details.
- External & façade joints: Split or perished joints in walls and cladding replaced with exterior sealant designed to stretch with the building.
- New-build mastic & snagging: Snagging sealant for new homes and plot-by-plot mastic for builders and developers.
- Floor & skirting joints: Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints sealed with the right product.
- Regrouting: Crumbling grout in showers and wet areas raked out and refilled, so water stays out of the wall behind.
- Glazing & conservatory sealant: Glass-to-frame joints on conservatories, rooflights and shower screens cut out and resealed.
- Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing: Leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints resealed with exterior sealant.
- Sand mastic for sash & case windows: Traditional burnt sand mastic renewed around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick.

Your questions about mastic work in Enfield
Do you cover all of Enfield?
Yes. We cover Enfield Town, Edmonton, Southgate, Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, Bush Hill Park, Cockfosters, Oakwood, Ponders End, Brimsdown and Enfield Lock.
Can you seal around the bay windows on my Edwardian house?
Yes. We remove the old, often over-painted mastic from each frame and the sill, then apply a flexible weatherproof sealant in a matching colour.
My 1930s house still has steel Crittall windows. Can you reseal them?
Yes. Steel frames expand and contract, so we use a flexible sealant that bonds to metal and masonry and can move with the frame.
Do you work in the new flats at Meridian Water?
Yes. We reseal showers, baths and kitchens in new flats, where builder sealant often cracks as the building settles.
Can you reseal a conservatory or patio door?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant where the frame meets the wall and the floor, and reseal with a weatherproof product suited to outside joints.
Do you work near Chase Farm or North Middlesex hospitals?
We work for clinics, surgeries and care settings across the borough and can use anti-bacterial sealant where hygiene matters.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Do you need to come back after painting the windows?
No. Tell us if the frames are being painted and we’ll plan the mastic so it goes on after the paint has dried, or use a sealant that can be painted over where that suits the job.
