What window mastic looks like in Chiddingfold
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.
Rented homes near Witley station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you look after a building such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. In a small place like Chiddingfold, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Chiddingfold, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
When to call us in Chiddingfold
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, 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.
The most common problems we see are:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
For an older house near a landmark such as St Teresa of Avila Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Also in Chiddingfold
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Questions from Chiddingfold
Do you cover smaller places like Chiddingfold?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Witley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
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. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
