Window mastic for homes and businesses in Abinger Common
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and untidy mastic left by window fitters, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Abinger Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Abinger Common, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

Quotes for window mastic in Abinger Common
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Why act early in Abinger Common
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Abinger Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Why Abinger Common clients choose us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- More than 20 years in sealant work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that is what we find.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
Common questions in Abinger Common
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gomshall station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Abinger Common?
Yes, Abinger Common is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Common problems we fix in Abinger Common
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Belmont Prep School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What window mastic looks like in Abinger Common
With historic houses such as Polesden Lacey (about 4.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Abinger Common as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St James, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Gomshall station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
