How we handle window mastic in Blackheath
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are hard, cracked sealant around windows and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Blackheath is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Blackheath as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In a small place like Blackheath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Blackheath: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chilworth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Blackheath for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Blackheath is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Most silicone can’t be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will my window job take?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Blackheath needs a little journey planning: 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 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Window mastic in Blackheath: local notes
Historic houses like Chilworth Manor (about 1.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Blackheath has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Chilworth CofE (Aided) Infant School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Chilworth station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Common problems we fix in Blackheath
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
In the older streets around Church of St Martin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
