How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:

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.

Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
About our window mastic in Brompton
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Typical jobs include mastic that has split away from the wall and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, on window sills, composite doors and aluminium frames.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Brompton as anywhere.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need window mastic in Brompton
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
If you look after a building such as Hellenic College of London, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Brompton.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Colour picked to suit the job

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a job in Brompton, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Window mastic in Brompton: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Simon Zelotes include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. As a London address, Brompton can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Brompton: your questions answered
Is Brompton in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Brompton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Brompton?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
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.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Most silicone cannot be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
Surface by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
