Window mastic in West Chiltington, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for black, perished sealant on frames and draughty joints inside around the window, across composite doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around West Chiltington is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about window mastic in West Chiltington
Is West Chiltington within the area you cover?
Yes. West Chiltington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Pulborough station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover West Chiltington.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone cannot be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
What window mastic looks like in West Chiltington
With historic houses such as Old Place Manor (about 2.8 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Chiltington 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’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like West Chiltington Community Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What affects the quote in West Chiltington
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
What we’re called out for in West Chiltington
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We will tell you which suits your home.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as West Chiltington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
