How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, 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. For a village or hamlet like Small Dole, 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.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Small Dole
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Typical jobs include damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and mastic that has split away from the wall, across window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors.
Somewhere as small as Small Dole, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

Windows and doors in Small Dole
With historic houses such as Portslade Manor (about 4.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Small Dole as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Portslade Manor, about 4.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Small Dole.

When to call us in Small Dole
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
Rented homes near Shoreham-By-Sea station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What affects the cost of window mastic
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
Why deal with it now?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Around Small Dole, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
