Common questions in Salvington
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Salvington any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Will you come out to Salvington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What does window mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Salvington
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before we start. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the number of frames and any access details. We work on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and window sills, and people most often call us about a bead that doesn’t match the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Houses in smaller places like Salvington can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Window mastic in Salvington: local notes
Salvington is within about 3 miles of 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to West Worthing station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Schools such as Durrington Infant School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Symphorian's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Salvington is about 1 mile north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Salvington can book us for window mastic. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Salvington is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we work for window mastic. We also work in Brighton, around 12 miles away.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house for a typical job. Parking around Salvington is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What happens if it’s left?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In an older home around Salvington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
