DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like East Shalford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Quotes for window mastic in East Shalford
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Signs you need window mastic in East Shalford
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
For landlords with property near Shalford station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

East Shalford homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Chilworth Manor (about 0.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around East Shalford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Tillingbourne Junior School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Thomas include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
