Window mastic in Ferring
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about white mastic on grey or black frames and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Many houses in smaller places like Ferring have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Ferring and everywhere else we cover.

Common problems we fix in Ferring
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
The most common problems we see are:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Homes close to St Andrew's Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it without cracking.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Parking around Ferring is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
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.

- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Windows and doors in Ferring
Ferring is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ferring CofE Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Goring-By-Sea 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.

FAQs for Ferring
Do you cover smaller places like Ferring?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Ferring?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months, inside or out.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Ferring.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
