Common problems we fix in Hamsey
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Rented homes near Cooksbridge station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Window mastic in Hamsey: local notes
With historic houses such as Anne of Cleves House (about 1.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hamsey 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Hamsey Community Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Hamsey, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
What affects the quote in Hamsey
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Your questions about window mastic in Hamsey

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
How many windows can you do in a day?
Allow a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
