Frames and glazing around North Chailey
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of Our Lady, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Chailey Heritage School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What else we do in North Chailey
Why act early in North Chailey
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Chailey can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in North Chailey
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Full insurance on every job

Common questions in North Chailey
I let a flat near Plumpton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 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 do window mastic in North Chailey?
Yes, North Chailey is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
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.
What we’re called out for in North Chailey
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Letting a property close to Plumpton station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How much experience the applicator has
- The length of the guarantee
- What the cure time is
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like North Chailey needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
