Window mastic in Abingworth
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and draughts coming in around windows and doors, across composite doors, window sills and aluminium frames.
In a village or hamlet like Abingworth, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How we quote for window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Abingworth can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Abingworth needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit

When to call us in Abingworth
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- A bead that does not match the frame
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Window mastic in Abingworth: local notes
With historic houses such as Parham House (about 3.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Abingworth as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Schools such as Thakeham Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
