Window & door mastic in Castle Green, Greater London
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for Castle Green, backed by a 12-month guarantee. Call for a quick quote.
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Castle Green
Around Castle Green we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Castle Green
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Barking Riverside station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around St John the Divine, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

When to call us in Castle Green
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
As a London address, Castle Green can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In Castle Green, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We will point out any rot we find, as that’s a job for a joiner.
FAQs for Castle Green
Is parking an issue for window mastic in Castle Green?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near Barking Riverside station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
