Window mastic for homes and businesses in Albourne Street
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about untidy mastic left by window fitters and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
Homes in small places like Albourne Street often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Albourne Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Do you need window mastic in Albourne Street?
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
For landlords with property near Hassocks station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. Those corners get the most care.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What window mastic looks like in Albourne Street
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Albourne CofE Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Albourne Street
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Older cottages and farmhouses around Albourne Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
