About our window mastic in Glyndebourne
Homes in Glyndebourne have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on timber windows & doors, window sills and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and rushed sealant from a window installation.
In a village or hamlet like Glyndebourne, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Glyndebourne and across East Sussex.

Glyndebourne: your questions answered
Will you come out to Glyndebourne?
Yes, Glyndebourne is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do window mastic in Glyndebourne?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Glyndebourne is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
How we quote for window mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Glyndebourne, access is usually 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, 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Why act early in Glyndebourne
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. In a small place like Glyndebourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why Glyndebourne clients choose us

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
What window mastic looks like in Glyndebourne
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Glyndebourne (about 0.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Glyndebourne 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.
Managing a site like Ringmer Primary and Nursery School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Glynde station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Honest limits

- Faulty window hardware
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
