About our window mastic in Seaview
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on window sills, composite doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are leaking joints at the ends of sills and draughty joints inside around the window.
Around Seaview, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Seaview as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Seaview, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Your questions about window mastic in Seaview
I let a flat near Smallbrook Junction station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Seaview 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.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Silicone cannot generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
Common problems we fix in Seaview
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- A bead that does not match the frame
If you live in an older home near St. Peter's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Frames and glazing around Seaview
Seaview is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Smallbrook Junction station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you look after a building such as Nettlestone Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
