Window mastic in Rusher's Cross
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to deal with draughts coming in around windows and doors and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, across timber windows & doors, composite doors and window sills.
In a village or hamlet like Rusher's Cross, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Window mastic in Rusher's Cross: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Wadhurst Castle (about 2.6 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rusher's Cross as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Wadhurst station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a small place like Rusher's Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Common questions in Rusher's Cross

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Rusher's Cross for window mastic?

What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How much does window mastic cost in Rusher's Cross?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
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.
