Frames and glazing around Climping
Climping is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (about 4.7 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Climping as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Littlehampton station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the cost of window mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Climping, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- 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.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Common questions in Climping
Is Climping within the area you cover?
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.
I let a flat near Littlehampton station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How many windows can you do in a day?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We will tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames normally suit brown.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain cannot run into 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.
Why deal with it now?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Climping, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
