Resealing and mastic work across West Clandon
West Clandon is a village of around 500 homes strung along its main street, with Guildford as its post town and Clandon station on the line to London Waterloo. Mr Mastic covers the village and its neighbours from our base in Crawley, resealing bathrooms, kitchens, basins and toilet bases, and renewing the mastic around windows and doors.
In homes like these, people usually want work that looks right as well as works. That means cutting the old bead out completely, cleaning and drying the joint, and choosing a colour that sits with the suite, tiles or frame rather than standing out. Our bathroom resealing page sets out each step.
A linear village that grew with the railway
By around 1500 the village had already taken its linear shape along what is now the village street. The parish church of St Peter and St Paul, largely late 12th century, is Grade II* listed, the Bull’s Head pub dates back to the 16th century, and some older cottages at the north end of the village were once beer houses. Housing grew slowly until after the First World War, when the railway, which opened in 1885 with a station at West Clandon, began to turn the village into a commuter settlement.
The 2011 census shows how much of the village is detached housing: of 508 households, 326 lived in detached houses and 122 in semis, with only 17 terraced homes and 42 flats. Many households owned their homes outright, a higher share than the regional average.
That mix gives two kinds of job. In the older cottages, frames and walls move with the seasons, so external joints need a flexible sealant, painted to match where the joinery is painted. In 20th-century detached houses, bathrooms and kitchens have often been refitted more than once, and we find layers of old sealant, dropped baths and uPVC mastic that has gone hard.
Big houses, several bathrooms and period details
Detached family houses tend to have several bathrooms: a main bathroom, an en suite or two and a downstairs cloakroom. The less-used ones are often forgotten until a seal has gone black, so it can make sense to do them all in one visit. Around basins and toilets, a neat, colour-matched bead finishes the room; our page on colour-matched resealing explains the options.
On older properties, especially any listed buildings along the village street, we cut out failed joints by hand and choose products that suit old masonry and timber. Where sash windows need their outer joints renewed, our sand mastic service uses a traditional mix suited to period frames.
Pubs, the estate and rented homes
The village has two pubs, the Onslow Arms and the Bull’s Head, and the garden centre and estate buildings around Clandon Park. Clandon House, the Palladian mansion built for the Onslow family in the early 18th century, was badly damaged by fire in April 2015 and is being restored by the National Trust. Pub kitchens, toilets and visitor facilities all need sanitary sealant that copes with heavy cleaning, and out-of-hours working can be arranged for commercial jobs.
We also work for landlords with let cottages and houses in the village, resealing between tenancies so a property is ready for its next occupant.

Questions we’re asked in West Clandon
Do you cover all of West Clandon?
Yes. We cover the whole village and its lanes, plus East Clandon about a mile to the south-east, and the surrounding Guildford area.
Can you reseal all the bathrooms in our house in one visit?
Usually, yes. We quote for the main bathroom, en suites and cloakroom together and work through them in turn.
Our cottage has painted timber windows. What sealant do you use?
Silicone cannot be painted, so on painted joinery we use a flexible paintable sealant, or sand mastic on suitable period frames.
Can you match the sealant to a coloured basin or tiles?
Yes. We offer a range of colours and will suggest the closest match before we start.
Do you work in pub kitchens and toilets?
Yes. We use sanitary sealants suited to commercial kitchens and washrooms, and can work out of hours.
Can you reseal a let property between tenants?
Yes. Between tenancies is the best time, as the sealant can cure before anyone moves in.
How long does a typical reseal take?
A single bath or shower usually takes a few hours, including removing the old sealant. We will tell you how long to leave it before use.
