Mastic man in Headley Down

Sealant jobs we do in Headley Down

Headley Down is a village in the parish of Headley, in East Hampshire, about a mile east of Headley itself, with Grayshott to the east and Churt to the north. It sits on high, heathy ground next to Ludshott Common, and its houses are spread along roads laid out in a grid more than a century ago. Mr Mastic covers Headley Down from our base in Crawley.

We reseal baths, showers and kitchens, replace window and door mastic, and seal external joints. Each job starts with getting all the old sealant out, because new silicone cannot bond to old. Then the joint is cleaned, dried and sealed with a product suited to the surface and the way it moves. If you want to know what good preparation involves, our guide to choosing a mastic man sets out the questions worth asking.

Victorian retreats, a 1970s estate and newer closes

From about the 1870s, people began building houses here to live or holiday in the healthy air of the Hindhead area, and by 1909 the side roads had been laid out in a grid. Some of those older detached houses still stand, often on large plots among the trees. Over the 20th century the village grew past Headley’s parish centre.

The biggest single change was the Heatherlands estate, about 350 houses built on the site of a former camp and finished by 1977. It now houses about a fifth of the parish. Houses of that age are on their third or fourth bathroom in many cases, and the sealant from earlier refits is often still there under the newer bead. Later closes, such as Penryn Drive and Stonedene Close, replaced older houses and a children’s home in the 1980s and after, and there is also the Windmill Estate and the older Land of Nod estate to the north.

Across all of these, the common jobs are mouldy shower seals, bath joints that have split, and uPVC frames whose mastic has gone hard. Older detached houses can also have timber windows and doors, where we use sealants suited to timber and paintable products if the joint is to be painted.
