- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Why deal with it now?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Abinger Bottom, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How we handle window mastic in Abinger Bottom
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and leaking joints at the ends of sills, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Abinger Bottom is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Abinger Bottom 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 go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Abinger Bottom homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Polesden Lacey (about 4.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Abinger Bottom 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Gomshall station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like Belmont Prep School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
