Window mastic for homes and businesses in South Malling
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after new windows were fitted and whistling draughts around closed windows, on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
Houses in smaller places like South Malling can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Window mastic in South Malling: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Anne of Cleves House (about 0.8 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around South Malling as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Lewes station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We will point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.

Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, depending on how much there is to do. For a job in South Malling, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice

Common problems we fix in South Malling
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Managing a site like South Malling CofE Primary and Nursery School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Faulty window hardware
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are 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.
