How we handle window mastic in Farnham
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the number of frames and any access details. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant at the sill ends and black, perished sealant on frames.
Homes in small places like Farnham often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farnham
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In a small place like Farnham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Over 20 years’ experience

Window mastic in Farnham: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace (about 4.2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Farnham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Stansted Mountfitchet station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Do you need window mastic in Farnham?
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Schools such as Farnham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the colour is chosen
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
FAQs for Farnham
Do you cover smaller places like Farnham?
Yes. Farnham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Farnham in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Farnham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can new window sealant be painted?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before work begins.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.

Quotes for window mastic in Farnham
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
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.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Farnham 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.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
