Window Mastic in Shermanbury
Window and door frames in Shermanbury need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Window mastic in Shermanbury, done properly
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the number of frames and any access details for window mastic in Shermanbury. If you have leaking joints at the ends of sills and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Shermanbury, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Shermanbury
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Look out for these signs:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
If you look after a building such as Jolesfield CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What window mastic looks like in Shermanbury
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Giles, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

FAQs for Shermanbury
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Shermanbury?
All our work, in Shermanbury and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do window mastic in Shermanbury?
Yes, Shermanbury is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Normally, yes. We plan safe access before the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
