How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep timber frames painted
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
About our window mastic in Busbridge
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We are often asked to deal with hard, cracked sealant around windows and rushed sealant from a window installation, across uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
Homes in small places like Busbridge 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 process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Busbridge, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Busbridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about window mastic in Busbridge
Do you cover smaller places like Busbridge?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Busbridge for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Busbridge is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Busbridge?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
What window mastic looks like in Busbridge
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Loseley Park (about 2.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Busbridge has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Schools such as Busbridge Infant School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to St John the Baptist Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
