How we handle window mastic in Alfold Bars
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Common call-outs are for gaps where the sill meets the wall and gaps left after new windows were fitted, across uPVC windows, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Alfold Bars is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Alfold Bars and across West Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Alfold Bars, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Signs you need window mastic in Alfold Bars
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
