About our window mastic in Shipton Green
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you have mastic that’s falling out in pieces and untidy mastic left by window fitters, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Shipton Green is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Shipton Green and everywhere else we cover.

Window mastic in Shipton Green: local notes
Shipton Green is within about 1 mile of 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Bosham station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Birdham CE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Shipton Green: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Shipton Green?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, 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 Shipton Green?
Yes. Shipton Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
How we quote for window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shipton Green
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shipton Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Shipton Green clients choose us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Full insurance on every job

What we are called out for in Shipton Green
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicholas' Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are for a typical job. Somewhere like Shipton Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
