What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Patio & French doors
- Window sills

- Aluminium frames
Windows and doors in Rabbit's Cross
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 3.9 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Rabbit's Cross has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
When to call us in Rabbit's Cross
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Historic houses such as Stoneacre, about 3.9 miles north, show how far back building around Rabbit's Cross goes.

What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Rabbit's Cross, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
