Window & door mastic in Wood's Corner, East Sussex
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Wood's Corner and across East Sussex. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- A bead that does not match the frame
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Window mastic in Wood's Corner, done properly
Around Wood's Corner we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can help, on uPVC windows, window sills and patio & French doors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Wood's Corner, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We will point out any rot we find, as that’s a job for a joiner.
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Landlord and commercial work in Wood's Corner
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Frames and glazing around Wood's Corner
With historic houses such as Bateman's (about 2.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wood's Corner as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Stonegate station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as Dallington Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What does window mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Wood's Corner, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Signs you need window mastic in Wood's Corner
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Giles, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
