Window mastic in Brixton, done properly
Around Brixton we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you are dealing with untidy mastic left by window fitters and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Brixton.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Brixton and across Greater London.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Your questions about window mastic in Brixton
Is parking an issue for window mastic in Brixton?
Parking in Brixton, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Is Brixton in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Brixton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
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.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Brixton. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Faulty window hardware
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
Frames and glazing around Brixton
With historic houses such as Kingswood House (about 2.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Brixton 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. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Rented homes near Brixton station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. In the older streets around Trinity Congregational Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common problems we fix in Brixton
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Schools such as Sudbourne Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
