- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.

Advice
How we handle window mastic in Culverstone Green
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you have untidy mastic left by window fitters and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can put it right, on window sills, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors alike.
Somewhere as small as Culverstone Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What else we do in Culverstone Green
When to call us in Culverstone Green
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Rented homes near Sole Street station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Older cottages and farmhouses around Culverstone Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about window mastic in Culverstone Green
Is Culverstone Green in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Culverstone Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Culverstone Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
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. It all has to come out first.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can new window sealant be painted?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before we start.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Window mastic in Culverstone Green: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Cobham College (about 4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Culverstone Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
