Willingdon Window Mastic
We cover Willingdon for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Wipe condensation off the frames
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
How we handle window mastic in Willingdon
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We are often asked to deal with cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and draughts coming in around windows and doors, on patio & French doors, composite doors and aluminium frames.
In a village or hamlet like Willingdon, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Willingdon 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 go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.

Frames and glazing around Willingdon
Willingdon 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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Hampden Park station, 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 The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Oakwood Primary Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Around Willingdon
We work in homes and buildings around The Eastbourne Academy and The Wheatsheaf Inn and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Hampden Park station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In a small place like Willingdon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
