We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How we handle window mastic in Battersea
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you have gaps where the sill meets the wall and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Battersea.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
A yearly look round the frames is enough. 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.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Battersea. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What window mastic looks like in Battersea
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before you book. With historic houses such as Carlyle's House (about 1.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Battersea as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Clapham Junction station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Homes close to Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Battersea is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Why act early in Battersea
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Battersea, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Questions from Battersea
I let a flat near Clapham Junction station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Battersea for window mastic?
Yes, Battersea is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Usually, yes. Access is planned before any work starts, so mention the height and anything in the way.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
