Window mastic in Broad Street, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on window sills, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about untidy mastic left by window fitters and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Broad Street is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Broad Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Old sealant always removed completely

Common problems we fix in Broad Street
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Look out for these signs:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughty joints inside around the window
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Broad Street
Landlord and commercial work in Broad Street
For anyone letting property in or around Broad Street, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Broad Street: your questions answered
Will you come out to Broad Street?
Yes. Broad Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Doleham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Tell us if you’re decorating and we will choose accordingly.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Broad Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What window mastic looks like in Broad Street
Broad Street is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Doleham station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
