Danehill Window Mastic
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for Danehill, backed by a one-year guarantee. Ask us for a quote.
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Draughty joints inside around the window
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Danehill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Danehill
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Typical jobs include mastic that’s falling out in pieces and leaking joints at the ends of sills, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Homes in small places like Danehill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf usually come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Do you need window mastic in Danehill?
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Look out for these signs:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
In the older streets around The Parish Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep timber frames painted
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Danehill: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haywards Heath station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Danehill in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Danehill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A few frames take a few hours. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
What window mastic looks like in Danehill
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 Priest House (about 4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Danehill 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.
Managing a site like Danehill Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Haywards Heath station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Why act early in Danehill
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Danehill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
