Mastic man in Henfield

Your local mastic man for Henfield

Henfield is a large village in Horsham District, sitting above the River Adur, where the western and eastern branches of the river meet at Betley Bridge just to the west. It has an old High Street with old inns, the 13th-century church of St Peter and a ring of commons and greens around it. Mr Mastic is based in Crawley and covers Henfield and the villages nearby for bath, shower and kitchen resealing, window mastic and external joints.

We are often called when a bath seal has started to peel, a shower is leaking at the corner, or a kitchen joint has turned dark by the sink. Each time, the failed bead is cut out entirely, the joint is cleaned and dried, and fresh sealant is laid. If yours goes black within months, our guide on why sealant goes mouldy explains the usual causes.

An old High Street and a village of greens

Henfield was already a sizeable place by the time of Domesday, and its historic core still runs along the High Street, with old inns and buildings that have been altered over centuries. Henfield Hall, home to the village museum since 1974, and a modern village hall just off the High Street sit among them. Around the village are small named greens and commons such as Pinchnose Green, Pokerlee, Broadmere Common and Henfield Common at the southern end of the High Street. By the 2001 census Henfield had over 2,100 households.

The older houses and cottages near the centre bring sloping floors, uneven walls and painted timber windows. Sealant here has to fill joints that are rarely straight and, on timber, sometimes needs to take paint. Around the edges of the village, newer family homes and bungalows have bathrooms and kitchens that have been refitted, with acrylic baths, shower trays and worktops that all rely on a good bead.

Shower enclosures are the job we see most. Where a tray has moved slightly or the original sealant was thin, water creeps under the edge and into the floor. Our shower resealing page explains how we put it right.

Jobs we take on in Henfield

• Bathroom & kitchen resealing: Every joint in the bathroom and kitchen, from the bath edge to the worktop, stripped back and resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
• Window & door mastic: Frame perimeters inside and out resealed with flexible, colour-matched sealant, with backing rod where the gap is deep.
• Commercial & hotel sealant: Sealant programmes for offices, hotels, care settings and schools, with early or late working where it helps.
• 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: Intumescent and fire-rated joints around pipes, cables and frames, installed to the manufacturer’s tested specification.
• External & façade joints: Expansion joints in brick, render and cladding cut out and renewed at the right depth so they can move without splitting.
• New-build mastic & snagging: Early-failing sealant in new homes fixed properly, plus mastic packages and snagging for 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: Glazing joints on conservatories, roof lanterns and screens renewed with a sealant suited to glass and frames.
• 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.
