Window mastic for Cocking homes and businesses

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Cocking

Homes in Cocking have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you’re dealing with rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Cocking is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
  • Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
  • Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render

If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we seal

  • Patio & French doors
  • Composite doors
  • Window sills
  • Timber windows & doors
  • uPVC windows
  • Aluminium frames

Do you need window mastic in Cocking?

Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cold air getting in at the frame edge
  • A bead that does not match the frame
  • Gaps left after new windows were fitted
  • Draughty joints inside around the window

For an older house near a landmark such as St Catherine of Siena Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why deal with it now?

Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Cocking, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Why us?

  • Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
  • Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
  • Colour picked to suit the job
  • White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

For landlords and businesses

If you manage several properties in or around Cocking, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

How to look after the new joints

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
  • Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
  • Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
  • Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant

On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.

A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

How we quote for window mastic

You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:

  • Any mould that needs treating
  • The product the joint needs
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Whether the work is at height

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Helping us quote

To make quoting easier, please include:

  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

What window mastic looks like in Cocking

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. Historic houses like Cowdray House (about 2.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Cocking has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

In and around Cocking, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens on the day

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Cocking, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
  2. All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
  3. The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
  4. Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
  5. We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.

Preparing for the visit

  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
