Mastic man in Warlingham

Mastic and sealant work in Warlingham

Warlingham is a hilltop village on the scarp of the North Downs in Tandridge, with parts of it about 200 metres above sea level and the Green Belt all around. Life centres on a triangular, tree-lined green with shops, a village hall and a few old cottages, while the houses spread north towards Hamsey Green and east towards Chelsham. We cover Warlingham from our base in Crawley for bath, shower, kitchen and window sealant work.

If your shower seal has gone grey, lifted at a corner or started letting water behind the tray, the fix is to remove it completely and start again, not to add another layer. Our page on shower resealing shows how we do it, and the same care goes into baths, basins and worktops.

Mostly family houses, with a hospital site reborn as an estate

Warlingham’s housing is mainly detached and semi-detached. The 2011 Census counted about 1,150 detached and 1,180 semi-detached homes in the parish, against fewer than 300 terraced houses and around 700 flats. Most households own their home, which tends to mean bathrooms and kitchens that have been updated by successive owners, often with sealant from each refit still in place underneath the latest one.

The biggest single change of recent decades was on the Chelsham border. The Croydon Mental Hospital opened there in 1903, later becoming Warlingham Park Hospital. Apart from its water tower, the buildings were demolished and the site became the private Greatpark estate in the early 2000s. Those homes are now old enough that the original sealant around baths, showers and windows has reached the end of its life.

The village also has a handful of listed buildings, including Court Cottage, the vicarage, the White Lion and 23–31 Leas Road, plus almshouses near School Common. Older buildings like these need flexible sealants that move with soft brick and timber.
