Window mastic for homes and businesses in Slinfold
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you have leaking joints at the ends of sills and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can put it right.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Slinfold is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Slinfold homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Christs Hospital station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Slinfold CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Slinfold needs a little journey planning: 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 start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why act early in Slinfold
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Slinfold, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why Slinfold customers choose us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Common problems we fix in Slinfold
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Do you cover smaller places like Slinfold?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
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.

How many windows can you do in a day?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You will know the timing when we quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What affects the quote in Slinfold
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

What else we do in Slinfold
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
