About our window mastic in Salehurst
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have gaps left after new windows were fitted and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Salehurst is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Do you need window mastic in Salehurst?
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
For landlords with property near Robertsbridge station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
What affects the quote in Salehurst
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Window mastic in Salehurst: local notes
Historic houses like Durhamford Manor (about 3.7 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Salehurst has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Salehurst Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Salehurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually 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.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the size of the job.

- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
