Mastic man in Yateley

Mastic and sealant work in Yateley

With around 20,000 residents, Yateley sits in the north-eastern corner of Hart District, close to Blackwater and Hawley. Most of the work here is in family homes, where bathrooms, en-suites and kitchens get daily use and the sealant takes a steady beating. Mr Mastic covers Yateley from our base in Crawley, resealing baths, showers, basins and worktops and replacing tired mastic around windows and doors.

We never run a new line over an old one. The failed bead comes out completely, the joint is cleaned back and dried, and the new sealant is chosen for where it is going. That is why the work lasts. If you are wondering whether you can just top up what is there, our article on how long silicone sealant lasts explains when a reseal is due.

A town of family houses around an old village core

Yateley has an old core around St Peter’s Church, which is Grade II listed and still has its early 16th-century timber bell tower, and the White Lion, also listed, in the town centre. Spread out from there are the suburban streets that make up most of the town, along with Cricket Hill and the eastern settlements of Frogmore and Darby Green. Frogmore runs straight into Blackwater, so many residents see it as a suburban village shared between the two.

In family houses, the same sealant faults turn up again and again. Bath seals split where the tub drops a few millimetres when it is filled. En-suite shower trays, often squeezed into a corner of a bedroom, leak along the edge nearest the door. Kitchen joints behind the sink shrink and collect grime. Each one is a cut-out-and-reseal job, and we use colour-matched or white sanitary silicone to suit the suite.

Outside, many homes have replacement uPVC windows, conservatories and porches. The mastic around them goes hard and cracks after years of sun, and the joints where a conservatory or extension meets the house are a common spot for draughts and damp. We cut those joints out and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product.
