About our window mastic in Chase Cross
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you have sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and cracked sealant at the sill ends, we can help. Looking for a professional mastic man in Chase Cross? That’s us, with 20+ years’ experience.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Why act early in Chase Cross
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In Chase Cross, 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.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Frames and glazing around Chase Cross
With historic houses such as Hare Hall (about 2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chase Cross as well as newer homes. 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. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book.
Letting a property close to Gidea Park station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Homes close to St James include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Do you need window mastic in Chase Cross?
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
If you look after a building such as Bower Park Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Leaks generally 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.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Chase Cross and across Greater London. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Surface by surface
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
