Mastic man in Maidstone

Resealing and mastic work across Maidstone

Maidstone is the largest town in Kent and its county town, and it has a bit of everything when it comes to sealant: brick terraces with timber sashes, post-war and modern estates, town-centre flats and a busy office core. If you need a mastic man in Maidstone, we can reseal your bath, shower or kitchen worktop, renew the mastic around windows and doors, and seal external joints that have started to let water in.

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley and covers Maidstone and the villages around it as part of our regular Kent work. Each visit follows the same pattern. We take every trace of the old bead out, clean and dry the joint, and then lay one neat line of sealant chosen for that spot. If your bathroom is the main worry, our bath resealing page shows how we go about it.

Yellow-brick terraces, sashes and Maidstone’s estates

The streets around Holy Trinity, just north-east of the town centre, give a good picture of older Maidstone. The council’s conservation area appraisal notes that most of the buildings there date from the early to mid 19th century, mostly two- and three-storey terraces built in pale yellow stock brick, with a few houses in local ragstone and small-paned timber sash windows. Many of those sashes have since been swapped for uPVC or aluminium, and the joint between a replacement frame and old, soft brick is often where mastic fails first.

In houses of this age, bathrooms tend to be later additions squeezed into back rooms or over a rear extension. Timber floors flex, baths drop slightly when filled, and a hard old bead soon pulls away from the tiles. We fill the bath before sealing so the joint is laid at its widest, and use flexible sanitary silicone that can follow the movement.

Further out, estates such as Grove Green, Shepway, Senacre and Vinters Park have more modern houses, many now on their second or third bathroom. Here the jobs are usually tired shower seals, kitchen worktop joints and mastic around patio doors. Where an earlier fitter has run new sealant over old, we cut both layers out and start again.

What we do in Maidstone

• 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: Window and door mastic that has dried out in the sun replaced with a weather-resistant joint that can move with the frame.
• Commercial & hotel sealant: Sealant programmes for offices, hotels, care settings and schools, with early or late working where it helps.
