DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How we handle window mastic in Brick Hill
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you’re dealing with mastic that’s falling out in pieces and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Brick Hill, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Your questions about window mastic in Brick Hill
Do you cover Brick Hill for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Brick Hill is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Brick Hill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Frames and glazing around Brick Hill
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Botleys Mansion (about 4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Brick Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of St Saviour include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Valley End CofE Infant School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brick Hill
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In a small place like Brick Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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 explain what it covers.

Signs you need window mastic in Brick Hill
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
For landlords with property near Sunningdale station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We will tell you which suits your home.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
