How we handle window mastic in Gossops Green
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We’re often asked to deal with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, on window sills, uPVC windows and patio & French doors.
In a smaller place like Gossops Green, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What window mastic looks like in Gossops Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Crawley, which Gossops Green is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Ifield Community College, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Ifield station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gossops Green

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a smaller place like Gossops Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
