How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Breach, 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.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- 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
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How we handle window mastic in Breach
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Typical jobs include white mastic on grey or black frames and hard, cracked sealant around windows, across patio & French doors, uPVC windows and window sills.
Around Breach, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Faulty window hardware
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render

What else we do in Breach
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What window mastic looks like in Breach
Breach is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newington Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Questions from Breach
Does the coastal weather in Breach affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is Breach within the area you cover?
Yes. Breach is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will match it as closely as we can.
Can new window sealant be painted?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Tell us if you’re decorating and we’ll choose accordingly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
Common problems we fix in Breach
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Rented homes near Newington station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use
- Is VAT in the price?
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Breach, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
