Window mastic for homes and businesses in Hollington
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are rushed sealant from a window installation and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Homes around Hollington range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Hollington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Common problems we fix in Hollington
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Draughty joints inside around the window
If you let a flat or house near St Leonards Warrior Square station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door in most cases. Parking around Hollington is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Hollington homes and the weather
Hollington 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. Historic houses like Durhamford Manor (about 4.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Hollington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around St Anne, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Hollington Primary Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

FAQs for Hollington
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Hollington?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near St Leonards Warrior Square station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Hollington?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
