Window mastic in Cambridge Heath, done properly
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. 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 a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on window sills, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a London area like Cambridge Heath, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep timber frames painted
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Frames and glazing around Cambridge Heath
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
In the older streets around St James-the-Less, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Cambridge Heath station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. As a London address, Cambridge Heath can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What sealant work can’t fix

Cambridge Heath questions

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Cambridge Heath?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before we start.
Do you cover Cambridge Heath?
Yes. We work in Cambridge Heath and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Cambridge Heath, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cambridge Heath
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a flat in Cambridge Heath, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
