Window mastic in West Chiltington Common, done properly
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are whistling draughts around closed windows and draughty joints inside around the window.
Homes around West Chiltington Common range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common problems we fix in West Chiltington Common
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as West Chiltington Community Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Homes in smaller places like West Chiltington Common can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Window mastic in West Chiltington Common: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Parham House (about 2.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around West Chiltington Common 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 an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Pulborough station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. A visit to West Chiltington Common is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Check the mastic once a year
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
