Window mastic for homes and businesses in Carlton Hill
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you have cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Carlton Hill, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Carlton Hill: your questions answered
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Carlton Hill any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to Carlton Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Carlton Hill.

Landlord and commercial work in Carlton Hill
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
When to call us in Carlton Hill
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
Homes close to Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What the cure time is
- How hidden problems are handled
What happens if it’s left?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Carlton Hill, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Windows and doors in Carlton Hill
Carlton Hill is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts 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 Carlton Hill Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Brighton station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Parking around Carlton Hill is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
