How we handle window mastic in Roedean
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. Typical jobs include cracked sealant at the sill ends and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, on uPVC windows, window sills and timber windows & doors.
Homes in small places like Roedean often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. 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: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Questions from Roedean
Is Roedean within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the coastal weather in Roedean affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Roedean, 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.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Roedean homes and the weather
Roedean is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Royal Pavilion (about 1.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Roedean as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Brighton station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Roedean, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Signs you need window mastic in Roedean
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
Look out for these signs:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Managing a site like St Mark's CofE Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Before booking anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- When the joint can take water or movement
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
