Window mastic in Norlington
Around Norlington we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows, on composite doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows.
In a village or hamlet like Norlington, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Window mastic in Norlington: local notes
With historic houses such as Glyndebourne (about 1.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Norlington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.

What else we do in Norlington
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Norlington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Norlington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Norlington questions
Is Norlington in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Norlington is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Norlington?

How do I get a quote for window mastic in Norlington?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before we start.
Common problems we fix in Norlington
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- A bead that does not match the frame
Rented homes near Lewes station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
