Mastic man in Walton-on-the-Naze

Mastic and sealant work in Walton-on-the-Naze

On the open North Sea coast, the weather does the real damage. In Walton-on-the-Naze, wind-driven rain and salt spray reach frames and joints that would stay sheltered further inland, and external mastic that might last a decade elsewhere can be cracked in half that time. Mr Mastic covers Walton from our base in Crawley, and we also handle the bathrooms and kitchens inside.

A common call here is a shower that has started to leak through the floor or wall. Usually it isn’t the tray or the pipework but the sealant around it, and our guide to leaking shower sealant explains how to tell. We remove the old bead fully, dry the joint, and reseal with a silicone chosen for the job.

A resort town built from the 1820s

Walton’s medieval village was lost to the sea, so no buildings here are older than the 18th century. The resort began in the late 1820s, when investors bought land to build accommodation for visitors, and early 19th century terraces and crescents still stand in the historic core east of Station Road and along the seafront. Growth sped up after the railway arrived in 1867, and by 1876 later Victorian terraced housing had filled the centre. After the line reached Clacton in 1882, the town grew more slowly.

Much of that core lies within the Frinton and Walton Conservation Area, which takes in streets such as the High Street, North Street, Saville Street, Church Road and The Parade. Many of these older houses have been refitted inside over the years, and plenty now have replacement windows. Higher ground along The Parade has long sea views, and with them, full exposure to the weather.

Beyond the centre are 20th century bungalows and family houses, and holiday homes and static caravans in parks such as Naze Marine. Each has its own needs, from cracked mastic round uPVC frames to shower and bath seals in compact holiday units.

Our services in Walton-on-the-Naze

• Bathroom & kitchen resealing: Baths, showers, basins, wet rooms, worktops and sinks: old sealant cut out, mould treated and a new bead of anti-fungal silicone laid.
• Window & door mastic: Cracked or shrunken mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors replaced with a weatherproof sealant.
