What affects the quote in East Sheen

- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
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, so you know where you stand.

How we handle window mastic in East Sheen
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. Common call-outs are for old mastic that has gone black or come away and draughts coming in around windows and doors, across composite doors, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Sheen
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In a flat in East Sheen, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we are called out for in East Sheen
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Window mastic in East Sheen: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. With historic houses such as Chiswick House (about 1.3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around East Sheen as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Mortlake station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. East Sheen is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
