How window mastic works in Brighton and Hove
Homes in Brighton and Hove have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and white mastic on grey or black frames.
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Pricing in Brighton and Hove
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Frames and weather across Brighton and Hove
Across Brighton and Hove, from Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill outwards, frames range from older timber to modern uPVC and aluminium. Each needs the right sealant, and every joint wears out eventually.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in Brighton and Hove is planned around the forecast. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Brighton and Hove can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.
Brighton: Homes close to St Martin's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near London Road (Brighton) station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What affects the cost of window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why deal with it now?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
