About our window mastic in East Grinstead
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you are dealing with cracked sealant at the sill ends and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can help, on window sills, aluminium frames and composite doors alike.
Walls in East Grinstead that face the prevailing wind take the most weather, and that is generally where the sealant gives up first. It’s worth looking at every frame, not just the one that leaks.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

East Grinstead homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Saint Hill Manor (about 1.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around East Grinstead as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
Rented homes near East Grinstead station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Our Lady and St Peter's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as St Mary's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep timber frames painted
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames in most cases. In East Grinstead, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a family home in East Grinstead, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you can’t see, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- You choose the colour before work begins
