About our window mastic in Burlow
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Common call-outs are for black, perished sealant on frames and hard, cracked sealant around windows, across window sills, patio & French doors and aluminium frames.
Homes in small places like Burlow often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why act early in Burlow
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into 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 small place like Burlow, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Full insurance on every job
- We never seal over old sealant
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Frames and glazing around Burlow
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Horselunges Manor (about 2.8 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burlow as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Around Burlow, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When to call us in Burlow
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

- What happens if the job turns out different
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Burlow, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

Is Burlow in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Burlow is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames normally suit brown.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
What affects the quote in Burlow
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep timber frames painted
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
