Mastic man in Whitchurch

Resealing and mastic work across Whitchurch

Whitchurch is a small town on the River Test, in the borough of Basingstoke and Deane, roughly halfway between Andover and Basingstoke and a short drive north of Winchester. About 7,200 people live here. Mr Mastic covers Whitchurch from our base in Crawley, and much of our work in a town like this is in older houses where a careful, tidy job matters as much as a watertight one.

We reseal baths, showers, basins and kitchen worktops, renew window and door mastic, and seal external joints that have opened up. Every joint is stripped back to a clean surface first, so the new bead bonds properly, and we choose a product to suit the surface: silicone in wet areas, and a paintable sealant where a joint on period joinery needs to be painted afterwards.

A conservation town with mills on the river

Much of Whitchurch is a conservation area, centred on the old streets around the town hall, completed in 1791, and All Hallows Church, the oldest building in the town. Older houses here often have timber windows, uneven walls and floors that have moved over the centuries, and a bathroom fitted into one of them rarely has straight lines or square corners. We work slowly around those, using flexible sealant that copes with movement and a neat, even finish that suits the house. All Hallows is Grade II* listed, and owners of listed or older homes nearby often want a finish that blends in rather than a bright white line, so we discuss colour before we start.

The River Test once powered at least four watermills in the town. Whitchurch Silk Mill still works, and other mills have been converted into homes, including Bere Mill, which was restored after a fire. Converted mills and riverside houses have their own challenges: thick walls, deep window reveals and damp air from the river that can slow drying.

Beyond the centre, the town has more recent family houses and estates, where the work is more familiar: worn bath and shower seals, kitchen joints that have shrunk, and uPVC frames whose mastic has hardened. Our anti-mould resealing service suits bathrooms where black spots keep coming back.
