About our window mastic in East Lavington
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before any work starts. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in East Lavington. If you’re dealing with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like East Lavington, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that’s what we find.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
What we’re called out for in East Lavington
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That’s what backing rod is for.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking

Window mastic in East Lavington: local notes
Historic houses like Bignor Roman Villa (about 2.9 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around East Lavington has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Graffham CofE Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why act early in East Lavington
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Lavington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

East Lavington questions
Is East Lavington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with window mastic in East Lavington?
All our work, in East Lavington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like East Lavington 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.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Leaks normally 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.
