How we handle window mastic in West Burton
The new joint does not have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you have old mastic that has gone black or come away and leaking joints at the ends of sills, we can help, on window sills, aluminium frames and patio & French doors alike.
Around West Burton, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Do you need window mastic in West Burton?
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
If you let a flat or house near Amberley station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Quotes for window mastic in West Burton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Questions from West Burton
Can you do window mastic in West Burton?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Burton is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Amberley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
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 hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like West Burton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

What window mastic looks like in West Burton
London and the South East are among the drier parts 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 Bignor Roman Villa (about 0.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Burton as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of the Holy Cross, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bury CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We will point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Burton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
