- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Look round the frames every year or so
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

What affects the quote in Chaldon
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Chaldon needs a little journey planning: 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.
- 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.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why act early in Chaldon
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chaldon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Frames and glazing around Chaldon
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter and St Paul CofE Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Caterham station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Surface by surface
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that’s a job for a joiner.
Common questions in Chaldon
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Caterham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Chaldon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
