About our window mastic in Ewell Minnis
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy mastic left by window fitters and whistling draughts around closed windows.
In a village or hamlet like Ewell Minnis, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
What happens if it’s left?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ewell Minnis, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Ewell Minnis, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Frames and glazing around Ewell Minnis
Ewell Minnis is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Kearsney station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Anthony the Martyr, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Ewell Minnis: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Ewell Minnis affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Ewell Minnis?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Ewell Minnis.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What affects the cost of window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For window mastic in Ewell Minnis, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
