Window mastic for homes and businesses in St Leonards
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. Common call-outs are for white mastic on grey or black frames and untidy mastic left by window fitters, across uPVC windows, window sills and patio & French doors.
Walls in St Leonards that face the prevailing wind take the most weather, so the mastic there tends to fail first. Checking every frame, not just the obvious one, is time well spent.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Frames and glazing around St Leonards
St Leonards is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near St Leonards Warrior Square station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as St Leonard's Church of England Primary Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In St Leonards, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the amount of work. A visit in St Leonards needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
