About our window mastic in High Hurstwood
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you are dealing with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like High Hurstwood often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in High Hurstwood
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Look out for the warning signs: 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.
Do you need window mastic in High Hurstwood?
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
Why it’s worth doing now in High Hurstwood
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In a small place like High Hurstwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Over 20 years’ experience
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

What affects the cost of window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Frames and glazing around High Hurstwood
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Buxted station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like High Hurstwood Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
