What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Window mastic in Dagnall, done properly
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you have damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Dagnall is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Dagnall and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Dagnall homes and the weather
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.
If you look after a building such as Dagnall VA Church of England School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Tring station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Dagnall: your questions answered
Do you cover Dagnall for window mastic?
Yes, Dagnall is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Dagnall?
Yes, Dagnall is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Dagnall?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
What happens if it’s left?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dagnall, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows

How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you need window mastic in Dagnall?
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Are they insured?
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Dagnall, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
