Molehill Green Window Mastic
Window and door frames in Molehill Green need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Window mastic in Molehill Green, done properly
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after new windows were fitted and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
Somewhere as small as Molehill Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Windows and doors in Molehill Green
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Horham Hall (about 3.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Molehill Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.

Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as that’s a job for a joiner.

Why it’s worth doing now in Molehill Green
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Around Molehill Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
