How we handle window mastic in Woodmancote
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. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. Typical jobs include gaps where the sill meets the wall and draughts coming in around windows and doors, on window sills, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Homes in small places like Woodmancote often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Woodmancote as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Woodmancote
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Woodmancote, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.

Woodmancote questions
Can you do window mastic in Woodmancote?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Woodmancote is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hassocks station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can new window sealant be painted?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before work begins.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
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’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, 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 tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

- Any working-time requirements on site
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send pictures if you have them.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Woodmancote needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote

Related advice
When to call us in Woodmancote
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
If you let a flat or house near Hassocks station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
