Window mastic for homes and businesses in Tile Hurst
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and window sills, and people most often call us about leaking joints at the ends of sills and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Around Tile Hurst, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Around Tile Hurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What window mastic looks like in Tile Hurst
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Michelham Priory (about 1.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tile Hurst as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Polegate station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What affects the quote in Tile Hurst
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
When to call us in Tile Hurst
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Grovelands Community Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
