Window mastic for homes and businesses in Bell Green

Homes in Bell Green have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you are dealing with mastic that’s falling out in pieces and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can put it right.

London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Honest limits

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:

  • Soft or decayed wood in the frame
  • Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
  • A failed sealed unit that has misted up

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

Where we work in Bell Green

  • Timber windows & doors
  • Window sills
  • uPVC windows
  • Composite doors
  • Aluminium frames
  • Patio & French doors

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Paint up to the joint, not over it
  • Wash the frames with mild soapy water
  • Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
  • Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant

Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.

Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Signs you need window mastic in Bell Green

Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.

People normally contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps where the sill meets the wall
  • Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
  • Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
  • Gaps left after new windows were fitted

In the older streets around St Michael's and All Angels, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

FAQs for Bell Green

Do you work for landlords with property near Lower Sydenham station?

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bell Green?

In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.

Do you work in Bell Green?

Yes. We cover Bell Green and the rest of Greater London. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Can resealing stop a draught around my window?

In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.

What do you put in the joint?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Windows and doors in Bell Green

With historic houses such as Kingswood House (about 2.1 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bell Green 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. 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.

Rented homes near Lower Sydenham station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. As a London address, Bell Green can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens if it’s left?

A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. 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 Bell Green, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

How it works

At the end, we look at the finished work together 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. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.

  1. We check how each frame can be reached safely.
  2. All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
  3. The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
  4. Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
  5. The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
