How we handle window mastic in Litlington
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on window sills, composite doors and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and rushed sealant from a window installation.
Around Litlington, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Litlington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What window mastic looks like in Litlington
Litlington is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Alfriston Clergy House (about 0.5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Litlington 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.
Managing a site like Alfriston School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Litlington is about 3 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. Jobs in Litlington get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Do you need window mastic in Litlington?
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Letting a property close to Berwick (Sussex) station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Questions to ask before booking

Questions from Litlington
Will you come out to Litlington?
Yes. Litlington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Berwick (Sussex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Litlington
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Litlington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
