Window mastic for homes and businesses in Church End
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about draughty joints inside around the window and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Church End is something to talk through when you book.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the amount of work. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Questions from Church End
Is parking a problem for a job in Church End?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Can you do window mastic in Church End?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Church End is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Church End and the rest of Greater London.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not usually, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you need window mastic in Church End?
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
In the older streets around St Margaret's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

What window mastic looks like in Church End
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
