About our window mastic in Rose Hill
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant at the sill ends and whistling draughts around closed windows, on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and composite doors.
Around Rose Hill, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Window mastic in Rose Hill: local notes
With historic houses such as Glyndebourne (about 3.4 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rose Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Historic houses such as Glyndebourne, about 3.4 miles south, show how far back building around Rose Hill goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Schools such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Uckfield station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Rose Hill
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rose Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long will my window job take?
Allow anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal.
How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
