How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Artington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- 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

Window mastic in Artington: local notes
With historic houses such as Guildford Castle (about 1.1 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Artington 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Shalford Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Shalford station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: 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
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
