Window mastic in Upper Burgate, done properly
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. If you have damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Upper Burgate, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Upper Burgate and everywhere else we cover.

Frames and glazing around Upper Burgate
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 Breamore House (about 1.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Burgate as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job. Somewhere like Upper Burgate needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.

Is Upper Burgate within the area you cover?

Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the joint suits the frame.
Are you an approved applicator?

What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What happens if it’s left?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Upper Burgate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Signs you need window mastic in Upper Burgate
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
In the older streets around Woodgreen Methodist Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
