Window & door mastic in Albury, Surrey
Our applicators work in Albury on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Albury
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Common call-outs are for a bead that doesn’t match the frame and cracked sealant at the sill ends, on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and aluminium frames.
Homes in small places like Albury 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Albury homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Chilworth Manor (about 1.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Albury has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

FAQs for Albury
Do you cover smaller places like Albury?
Yes. Albury is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Albury?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Albury is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Albury needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed 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.
When to call us in Albury
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Rented homes near Chilworth station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Albury, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Check the mastic once a year
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
