Mastic man in Sandhurst

Sealant jobs we do in Sandhurst

Sandhurst sits in the south-eastern corner of Berkshire, within Bracknell Forest, with Crowthorne to the north, Finchampstead to the west, Camberley across the Surrey border to the south-east and the River Blackwater marking its southern edge. Around 20,000 people live in its four main districts: Little Sandhurst, central Sandhurst, College Town and Owlsmoor.

Mr Mastic covers Sandhurst from our base in Crawley. Most of our work in towns like this is in family homes, where bathrooms and kitchens are used hard every day and sealant takes the strain. Black mould along a bath or shower is the most common complaint, and it rarely comes back once the old sealant is removed and the joint is redone with an anti-mould sealant.

Four villages joined by post-war estates

Modern Sandhurst grew out of four original villages, joined by large housing estates built between the late 1950s and the 1980s. Before that, many large 19th-century country houses stood here, but most have been demolished and their land developed. Older buildings that remain include St Michael’s church in Little Sandhurst, which dates from the 13th century and was largely rebuilt in 1853.

Estate houses from those decades share familiar patterns. Bathrooms have usually been refitted at least once, sometimes with sealant laid over an older layer, which never bonds properly. Kitchens often have long laminate worktops where the joint at the wall has opened up, and sinks and basins where the bead has gone yellow and lifted. We remove everything and reseal; our basin and sink resealing page shows what that involves.

Window and door frames on these houses have often been replaced with uPVC, and after a decade or two in the sun the mastic around them is hard and cracked. Once that happens, rain can work its way between the frame and the brick, so we cut the old mastic out and renew it with a flexible sealant in white, brown or another shade to match the frame.
