How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Chapel Row, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Window mastic in Chapel Row
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before work begins.

If you are dealing with leaking joints at the ends of sills and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Signs you need window mastic in Chapel Row
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Schools such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why act early in Chapel Row
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. In a small place like Chapel Row, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- We agree the colour with you first
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

How we quote for window mastic
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We’ll tell you if that is what we find.
