Window Mastic in Faygate
We cover Faygate for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
How we handle window mastic in Faygate
Homes in Faygate have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you are dealing with rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Faygate is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Your questions about window mastic in Faygate
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Faygate station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Faygate within the area you cover?
Yes. Faygate is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before work begins.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How much does window mastic cost in Faygate?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
When to call us in Faygate
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- A bead that does not match the frame
For landlords with property near Faygate station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the cure time is
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Faygate, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.

Advice
Faygate homes and the weather
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.
Managing a site like Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis' Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Around Faygate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
