Window Mastic in Lickfold
Problem with your window and door frames in Lickfold? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
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. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Window mastic in Lickfold
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are draughty joints inside around the window and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Lickfold is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Lickfold, access is generally 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.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Faulty window hardware
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
When to call us in Lickfold
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Landlords and agents in Lickfold can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Why act early in Lickfold
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Lickfold, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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 window mastic looks like in Lickfold
With historic houses such as Cowdray House (about 3.4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lickfold as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Haslemere station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is 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.
