Window mastic in Fickleshole, done properly
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. If you have whistling draughts around closed windows and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can put it right, on timber windows & doors, composite doors and window sills alike.
In a village or hamlet like Fickleshole, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Fickleshole
Is Fickleshole within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Woldingham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?

How do I get a quote for window mastic in Fickleshole?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Faulty window hardware

What window mastic looks like in Fickleshole
Historic houses like Down House (about 2.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Fickleshole has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Woldingham station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Common problems we fix in Fickleshole
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fairchildes Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the colour is chosen
Why deal with it now?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fickleshole can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How the job changes by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
