Sealant jobs we do in Hurstpierpoint
Hurstpierpoint grew up mostly along a single street, and most of its buildings date from the eighteenth century or later. Through the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, new homes were built to the north, east and west of the old village, so today it mixes period High Street properties with modern family houses. Mr Mastic covers Hurstpierpoint from our base in Crawley, in Mid Sussex, so the village is well within our usual area.
We reseal baths, showers, toilets and kitchens, replace window and door mastic and seal external joints. Old or new, the method is the same: take out the failed sealant completely, clean and prepare the joint, then lay a new bead in the right product for the job.
Three conservation areas and plenty of new homes
Mid Sussex District Council has three conservation areas in and around the village, covered by one joint appraisal: Hurstpierpoint itself, designated in 1972 and extended in 1999; Hurst Wickham, designated in 1989; and Langton Lane, from 1999. The parish church, Holy Trinity, was largely rebuilt to designs by Sir Charles Barry in 1843 to 1845, and Danny House is an Elizabethan house built of warm brick.
In the conservation areas, many homes have older windows, uneven walls and joints that have been patched more than once. We cut those out by hand and use a flexible sealant that suits the frame and masonry; our window mastic guide explains the choices.
The newer estates have their own problems. Baths and showers in younger houses often lose their seal as the building settles, and many have had a decade or more of daily use since anyone looked at the sealant. Our bath resealing service covers removing the old bead and resealing with the bath filled so the new seal allows for movement.
Period cottages, small bathrooms and toilet bases
In older cottages and terraced houses, bathrooms are often small and squeezed in, and floors are rarely perfectly level. A toilet pan that rocks slightly, or a bath that moves when it is filled, soon tears an ordinary seal. Toilet bases are easy to forget, but a stained or broken bead there traps moisture and smells. Our toilet base resealing service cleans it out and lays a neat, hygienic new joint.
The Hurstpierpoint Society, founded in 1962, takes a close interest in planning in the village. If your home is in a conservation area and you are thinking of changing windows, check with the council first; straightforward like-for-like resealing is usually routine.
A college, a primary school and a lively High Street
Hurstpierpoint College, founded in 1849 by Canon Nathaniel Woodard, has been on its present site just north of the village since 1853. St Lawrence Church of England Primary School is near the village centre, and the High Street has shops, cafés and pubs. Washrooms, kitchens and changing rooms in buildings like these need regular attention, and our commercial sealant service can be booked out of hours or in holidays.
We also reseal rented homes for landlords and letting agents across the parish, often in the short gap between one tenancy and the next.

Questions from Hurstpierpoint
Do you cover all of Hurstpierpoint?
Yes. We cover the whole parish of Hurstpierpoint and Sayers Common, including Hurst Wickham and Langton Lane, and nearby Hassocks, Albourne and Burgess Hill.
My house is in the Hurstpierpoint conservation area. Can you reseal the windows?
Yes. Like-for-like resealing is usually routine, but check with Mid Sussex District Council before any change to the windows themselves.
The seal round my toilet base is stained and cracked. Is it worth redoing?
Yes. We remove the old bead, clean underneath and lay a new hygienic sanitary joint, which looks better and stops moisture collecting.
Our newer house’s bath seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath is likely moving as it fills or as the house settles. We reseal with the bath full so the new seal allows for that movement.
Can you work at a school during the holidays?
Yes. We can reseal toilets, changing rooms and kitchens during holidays or out of hours.
Do you reseal for letting agents in the village?
Yes. We reseal rented homes between tenancies and can quote for several properties at once.
How long before I can use the bath?
Allow around 24 hours. We will confirm the cure time for the product used before we leave.
Can you reseal a kitchen worktop in a period cottage with uneven walls?
Yes. We fill deeper sections in stages and use a food-safe, anti-fungal silicone near the sink so the joint stays neat along the whole run.
