Ovingdean questions
I let a flat near Moulsecoomb station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Ovingdean within the area you cover?
Yes, Ovingdean is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How many windows can you do in a day?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You will know the timing when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Ovingdean.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
About our window mastic in Ovingdean
Homes in Ovingdean have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We are often asked to deal with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and untidy mastic left by window fitters, across aluminium frames, window sills and patio & French doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ovingdean is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that’s a job for a joiner.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ovingdean
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Around Ovingdean, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Full insurance on every job
- You choose the colour before work begins

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Composite doors

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Do you need window mastic in Ovingdean?
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- A bead that does not match the frame
Schools such as Ovingdean Hall School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.

Windows and doors in Ovingdean
Ovingdean 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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Moulsecoomb station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Homes close to St Wulfran's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
