Window Mastic in Broadland Row
Window and door frames in Broadland Row need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Window mastic in Broadland Row, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. If you have mastic that’s falling out in pieces and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can put it right.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Broadland Row is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Broadland Row, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Broadland Row: your questions answered
Is Broadland Row in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Broadland Row is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Doleham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Broadland Row homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Great Dixter (about 4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Broadland Row has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Doleham station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Quotes for window mastic in Broadland Row
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site

Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job

For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.

Signs you need window mastic in Broadland Row
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
