Window mastic in Ulting, done properly
The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We’re often asked to deal with untidy mastic left by window fitters and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, on uPVC windows, window sills and patio & French doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ulting is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What else we do in Ulting
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 keeps the clean look.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ulting can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Ulting: your questions answered
Do you cover Ulting for window mastic?
Yes, Ulting is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Ulting?
Yes, Ulting is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Ulting, along with the rest of our area.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A handful of frames is a short visit, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Signs you need window mastic in Ulting
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Letting a property close to Hatfield Peverel station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Ulting, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Window mastic in Ulting: local notes
Historic houses like Danbury Place (about 3.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Ulting has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
