Window mastic for homes and businesses in Chelwood Common
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We are often asked to deal with cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on window sills, composite doors and patio & French doors.
Around Chelwood Common, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Chelwood Common and across West Sussex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we quote for window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
Rather than a set price list, 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.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chelwood Common
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chelwood Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Chelwood Common
Do you cover smaller places like Chelwood Common?

Can you do window mastic in Chelwood Common?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chelwood Common is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A handful of frames is a short visit. You will get a timescale with the quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before work begins.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Chelwood Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Window mastic in Chelwood Common: local notes
Historic houses like Priest House (about 3.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Chelwood Common has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Danehill Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Chelwood Gate Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
