Resealing and mastic work across Kingsnorth
Kingsnorth is a village and civil parish on the southern edge of Ashford, and most of its 12,000 or so residents live on the housing estates that run up to the town, around Park Farm. The old village sits along the A2070 towards Hamstreet, with St Michael and All Angels church at its heart and the hamlet of Stubbs Cross close by. Mr Mastic covers the whole parish from our base in Crawley.
In a parish of mainly modern family houses, the jobs we see most are baths and showers whose original sealant has split or gone black, kitchen worktops where the joint has shrunk back from the tiles, and uPVC windows and doors with tired mastic. Each is done properly: the old bead out, mould treated, a clean dry joint and new sealant to suit.
Ashford’s southern estates and an old Wealden village
The parish has grown far beyond the original village because the housing estates adjoining Ashford fall inside its boundary. Park Farm, with its large supermarket, is the best-known of these, and its streets are lined with family homes, many now old enough for a second or third round of bathroom resealing. Builder-grade sealant in homes of this kind is often a thin bead of general-purpose silicone, and it fails as baths flex and showers are used every day.
If your home is newer and the sealant has already cracked, that’s common. Houses settle in their first years and timber floors move a little, which tears a stiff bead around a bath or tray. Our new-build sealant snagging guide explains what to look for and when to call it in.
The old village is a different picture. Its parish church has a fourteenth-century nave of Kentish ragstone, and older houses and cottages around it have uneven walls and openings. Around windows set into stone or old brick, the gap is rarely even, so we use backing rod where it is deep and a flexible sealant that can move with the wall.
Family homes, open country and the A2070
Kingsnorth sits on the edge of open Wealden farmland, and homes on the outer edges of the estates face fields with little shelter. Frames and doors on those exposed sides take more wind-driven rain, and once the mastic around them cracks, damp can get behind the frame. Cutting out the old joint and replacing it with weatherproof sealant is a straightforward job from the ground or a short ladder on most two-storey houses here.
Inside, family bathrooms in houses like these see a lot of use. A shower over the bath, children splashing and towels left on the edge all keep the joint damp, and that is when mould takes hold. We use anti-fungal sanitary silicone and leave you clear advice on cure times. Parking on estate roads is usually easy, which keeps visits short.
Landlords, shops and small businesses
With so many family houses close to Ashford, a fair number are let, and we reseal for landlords and letting agents between tenancies or after a tenant reports mould or a leak. We can quote for several homes at once. Our landlord sealant page covers how this works.
Shops, the supermarket at Park Farm and other local businesses have customer toilets and staff areas that need resealing from time to time, and out-of-hours working can be arranged for commercial jobs.

Kingsnorth: common questions
Do you cover all of Kingsnorth?
Yes. We cover the Park Farm estates, Kingsnorth village and Stubbs Cross, and the rest of Ashford around them.
The sealant in my newer house split within a year. Why?
New homes settle and builder sealant is often a basic product. We remove it, prime where needed and reseal with a flexible sanitary silicone.
Can you reseal a bath with a shower over it?
Yes. It’s one of our most common jobs. We fill the bath before sealing so the joint is laid at its widest.
My back door faces open fields and the mastic has cracked. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out the old joint and apply a weatherproof sealant, with backing rod where the gap is deep.
Do you work for landlords with several houses?
Yes. We can reseal between tenancies and quote for a number of properties together.
Do I need to be home?
Someone needs to let us in, but you don’t need to stay in the room. We’ll explain the cure time before we leave.
