About our window mastic in Maybush
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and gaps left after new windows were fitted.
In a smaller place like Maybush, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Maybush
Landlords and letting agents in Maybush can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Maybush
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Managing a site like Newlands Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Window mastic in Maybush: local notes
Maybush is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Letting a property close to Redbridge station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and the area is left clean. In a smaller place like Maybush, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Common questions in Maybush
Will you come out to Maybush?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Maybush?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Silicone generally will not take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
