What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Chapel Row
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. We use a neutral-cure product.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
When to call us in Chapel Row
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- White mastic on grey or black frames
In the older streets around Douai Abbey Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Chapel Row questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Midgham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Chapel Row?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Window mastic in Chapel Row: local notes
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.
If you look after a building such as Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
