Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
What window mastic looks like in Albourne Green
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 look after a building such as Albourne CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Hassocks station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Albourne Green can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Albourne Green
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Bartholomew include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Albourne Green: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hassocks station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Albourne Green for window mastic?
Yes, Albourne Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Why it’s worth doing now in Albourne Green
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Albourne Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- We never seal over old sealant
