Window mastic for homes and businesses in West Cliffe
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on uPVC windows, window sills and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and draughty joints inside around the window.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in West Cliffe is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles

West Cliffe homes and the weather
West Cliffe is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Martin Mill station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like West Cliffe needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

FAQs for West Cliffe
Is window mastic in a coastal place like West Cliffe any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
I let a flat near Martin Mill station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
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. You will get a timescale with the quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In a small place like West Cliffe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Signs you need window mastic in West Cliffe
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. That’s what backing rod is for.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
Managing a site like St Margaret's-at-Cliffe Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
