Window Mastic in Shipley
Problem with your window and door frames in Shipley? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Shipley, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

In the older streets around The Church of St Mary the Virgin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Faulty window hardware
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
Common problems we fix in Shipley
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That is what backing rod is for.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Black, perished sealant on frames
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Shipley questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Billingshurst station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Shipley?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A handful of frames is a short visit. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we will say so.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Do not paint over the silicone
Silicone cannot generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
How we quote for window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
