What happens if it’s left?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Fairlop, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Fairlop is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Your questions about window mastic in Fairlop
Will you come out to Fairlop?
Yes, Fairlop 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 work for landlords with property near Seven Kings station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep timber frames painted
- Check the mastic once a year
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
Frames and glazing around Fairlop
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 Valentines Mansion (about 2.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fairlop as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Seven Kings station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like Fairlop Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis of Assisi, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
