Window mastic in Elmstone, done properly
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are hard, cracked sealant around windows and draughts coming in around windows and doors.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Elmstone is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 fails, we can still redo it.

When to call us in Elmstone
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
If you live in an older home near Elmstone Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Elmstone, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Window mastic in Elmstone: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Elmstone 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 is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Minster station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Preston Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why it’s worth doing now in Elmstone
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Around Elmstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as that’s a job for a joiner.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal

- Aluminium frames

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.

How much does window mastic cost in Elmstone?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
