Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How we handle window mastic in Fiddlers Hamlet
Frames and walls do not move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you have cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can put it right, on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Fiddlers Hamlet is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Landlord and commercial work in Fiddlers Hamlet
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Frames and glazing around Fiddlers Hamlet
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Hill Hall (about 1.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Fiddlers Hamlet has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ivy Chimneys Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Saint Alban's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep timber frames painted
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Signs to watch for: 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.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Fiddlers Hamlet, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Fiddlers Hamlet questions
Do you cover smaller places like Fiddlers Hamlet?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Fiddlers Hamlet?
All our work, in Fiddlers Hamlet and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone can’t be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Why act early in Fiddlers Hamlet
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. In a small place like Fiddlers Hamlet, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
