Window mastic in Childrey
Around Childrey we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and window sills, and people most often call us about untidy mastic left by window fitters and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Childrey is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Frames and glazing around Childrey
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Childrey, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we quote for window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Childrey: your questions answered
Is window mastic in Childrey guaranteed?
All our work, in Childrey and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Childrey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Childrey?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We will point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
When to call us in Childrey
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Ridgeway Church of England (C) Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
