- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.

How we handle window mastic in Balls Cross
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have a bead that doesn’t match the frame and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Balls Cross is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Balls Cross and across West Sussex.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Why act early in Balls Cross
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Around Balls Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What affects the quote in Balls Cross
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
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.
Window mastic in Balls Cross: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Petworth House (about 2.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Balls Cross has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In and around Balls Cross, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Balls Cross and across West Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
