About our window mastic in Shripney
Homes in Shripney have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Common call-outs are for hard, cracked sealant around windows and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, across aluminium frames, uPVC windows and composite doors.
In a village or hamlet like Shripney, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Shripney, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Quotes for window mastic in Shripney
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.

Other services in Shripney
Shripney: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bognor Regis station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Shripney within the area you cover?
Yes, Shripney is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shripney
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Shripney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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 work begins.
Why us?
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Window mastic in Shripney: local notes
Shripney 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. 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.
In the older streets around Holy Cross Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Bognor Regis station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Bersted Green Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Landmarks near Shripney
Around Shripney, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Brooks Local Nature Reserve, The Regis School and Felpham Community College and the streets around them. Shripney’s nearest station is Bognor Regis station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Tote Copse Castle (1.8 miles north-west) and Bognor Regis Museum (2.1 miles south).
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
