How we handle window mastic in Chinbrook
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Chinbrook. We are often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and cracked sealant at the sill ends, on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In Chinbrook, 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 start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Chinbrook: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Chinbrook?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Chinbrook?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chinbrook is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Chinbrook homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Eltham Palace (about 1.3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chinbrook 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.
Chinbrook is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Letting a property close to Grove Park station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Homes close to Jubilee International Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Chinbrook is about 1 mile south-west of Eltham, in Greater London. Across the SE9 area, we can carry out window mastic at your property. Chinbrook is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for window mastic. Our London page covers work nearby (7 miles or so).

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep timber frames painted
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Check the mastic once a year
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chinbrook
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
