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 timber frames painted
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Signs you need window mastic in Cornish Hall 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. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Homes close to St John the Evangelist Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere as small as Cornish Hall End, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Cornish Hall End, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the cost of window mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Your questions about window mastic in Cornish Hall End
Is Cornish Hall End within the area you cover?
Yes, Cornish Hall End is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Cornish Hall End in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Cornish Hall End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before we start.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Cornish Hall End.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
