Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
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.
Common problems we fix in Bishopstone
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Bishopstone needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Bishopstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first

Bishopstone: your questions answered
Will you come out to Bishopstone?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Bishopstone affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Windows and doors in Bishopstone
Bishopstone is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Alfriston Clergy House (about 3.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Bishopstone has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We’ll tell you if that is what we find.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
