How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house for a typical job. Somewhere like Colworth needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Window mastic in Colworth
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are old mastic that has gone black or come away and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Somewhere as small as Colworth, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Quotes for window mastic in Colworth
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job

What window mastic looks like in Colworth
Colworth is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Goodwood House (about 4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Colworth 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.
Letting a property close to Bognor Regis station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Historic houses such as Goodwood House, about 4 miles north-west, show how far back building around Colworth goes.

Why act early in Colworth
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Colworth can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
When to call us in Colworth
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- A bead that does not match the frame
Managing a site like Bartons Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
Common questions in Colworth
Do you cover smaller places like Colworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Colworth?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
