Your local mastic man for Witley
Witley is not one village so much as a cluster of them. Since April 2023 the civil parish has been called Witley and Milford, and alongside the historic centre it takes in Milford, Wormley, Brook, Sandhills, Wheelerstreet, Crossways, Culmer and Enton. Mr Mastic covers the whole parish from our base in Crawley, resealing baths, showers, basins and kitchen worktops and renewing the mastic around windows and doors.
Most homes here are houses rather than flats, and many have been extended or refitted over the years, so a single visit often covers more than one room. We take the old sealant out completely, deal with any mould behind it, let the joint dry and lay a new bead suited to the surface. For a bath, that means filling it first so the seal is made with the tub at its heaviest. Our bath resealing page explains the steps.
Four conservation areas and a lot of detached houses
The parish design guidance identifies four conservation areas: Witley, Wheeler Street, Sandhills and Milford. In their historic cores buildings are mostly two storeys, with pitched or hipped roofs, chimneys and gabled dormers, and the parish church in Witley dates back to before the Norman Conquest. Witley itself grew out along Petworth Road, and its more recent streets are mainly cul-de-sacs. Detached homes are the most common type, with bungalows, semi-detached and terraced houses mixed in.
The 2011 census backs that up: of about 3,170 households, nearly 1,190 lived in detached houses and close to 1,000 in semis, with around 490 terraced homes and 500 flats. Wormley grew mainly after Witley station opened on the Portsmouth Direct Line, and part of it was rebuilt where an old walking-stick factory was replaced by houses with small gardens.
Older cottages tend to have walls and frames that move a little with the seasons, so the joints around windows, doors and bathroom fittings need a flexible sealant that can be painted where the joinery is painted. In bungalows and cul-de-sac houses refitted in the 1990s or 2000s, the usual call is for tired, discoloured bath and shower seals and uPVC frame mastic that has gone hard.
Period cottages, rural lanes and big gardens
Work in the conservation areas calls for a light touch. Where a frame is old timber, we cut the failed joint out by hand rather than grinding, and choose a sealant colour that sits quietly against brick, stone or paintwork. On larger detached houses, external joints at the back of the property and on extensions are often the ones that have been left longest, and we check sills, door thresholds and the meeting points between old and new walls. Our external joints page covers this kind of work.
The lanes in Brook, Sandhills and around Wormley are narrow, and parking can be tight near the stations at Witley and Milford, so let us know about access when you book. We bring everything we need with us and clear up before we leave.
A boarding school, rentals and small businesses
King Edward’s School, a co-educational boarding and day school in a Grade II listed building near Wormley, is one of the larger buildings in the parish, and boarding houses and staff accommodation of this kind have a lot of showers and washrooms that need resealing from time to time. We can work in holidays or out of hours for commercial and institutional jobs.
Elsewhere, much of the commercial work around Witley is on a smaller scale: let cottages and annexes, rented flats in Milford, and offices and workshops such as the light industrial units in Wormley. Landlords often ask us to reseal kitchens and bathrooms between tenancies so a property looks cared for when it is next viewed.

Questions from Witley
Do you cover all of Witley?
Yes. We cover the whole parish of Witley and Milford, including Wormley, Brook, Sandhills, Wheelerstreet, Crossways, Culmer and Enton.
My cottage is in a conservation area. Will the new sealant look out of place?
We choose a colour to suit the frame and wall, and use a paintable sealant where the joinery is painted, so the joint looks tidy rather than new.
How long should bathroom sealant last?
It depends on use and cleaning, but a well-laid bead lasts years. Our guide on how long silicone sealant lasts explains what shortens its life.
Can you match an unusual coloured bath or tiles?
Usually, yes. We offer colour-matched resealing so the bead blends with the suite or tiles.
Can you do several rooms in one visit?
Yes. Many Witley jobs cover a bathroom, an en suite and a kitchen together, and we quote for them as one job.
Do you work for schools and boarding houses?
Yes. We reseal washrooms and showers in institutional buildings, and can work in holidays or out of hours.
Is parking a problem on the narrower lanes?
Not usually. Just let us know about access when you book, and we will plan around it.
