About our window mastic in Cootham
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you have old mastic that has gone black or come away and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, we can put it right, on window sills, aluminium frames and uPVC windows alike.
Homes in small places like Cootham often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Windows and doors in Cootham
Historic houses like Parham House (about 1.1 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Cootham 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Storrington Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What we’re called out for in Cootham
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Parham House, about 1.1 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cootham.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Cootham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
