DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Toddington
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and cracked sealant at the sill ends, across uPVC windows, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
Many houses in smaller places like Toddington have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Toddington as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Parking around Toddington is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Toddington homes and the weather
Toddington is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Ecclesden Manor (about 2.8 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Toddington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Littlehampton station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Schools such as Lyminster Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Toddington is about 1 mile north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Jobs in Toddington get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, and Toddington is one of them. Brighton is on our list too, around 18 miles away.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
What happens if it’s left?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Around Toddington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Your questions about window mastic in Toddington
Does the coastal weather in Toddington affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Littlehampton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
