About our window mastic in Billingshurst
Around Billingshurst we seal all kinds of frames: 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. If you are dealing with draughts coming in around windows and doors and draughty joints inside around the window, we can help, whatever the surface.
In smaller places like Billingshurst, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Your questions about window mastic in Billingshurst
Is Billingshurst within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Billingshurst station. Can you help?
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 quote.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Billingshurst?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Silicone is not paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you are decorating and we’ll choose accordingly.

Advice
Frames and glazing around Billingshurst
With historic houses such as Old Place Manor (about 4.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Billingshurst as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Billingshurst Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.

- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- White mastic on grey or black frames

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
