FAQs for Brimsdown
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brimsdown station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Brimsdown in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Brimsdown is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Window mastic in Brimsdown, done properly
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We are often asked to deal with leaking joints at the ends of sills and old mastic that has gone black or come away, across composite doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Brimsdown as anywhere.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, and the area is left clean. In Brimsdown, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
What affects the cost of window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

When something else is needed

- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Frames and glazing around Brimsdown
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Managing a site like Brimsdown Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Brimsdown is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. In the older streets around Ss Peter and Paul Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
