What affects the cost of window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Window mastic in Fingest
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. If you have cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can put it right.
Homes in small places like Fingest 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Fingest
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
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. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What window mastic looks like in Fingest
Historic houses like Stonor Park (about 2.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Fingest 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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Cadmore End CofE School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why act early in Fingest
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Fingest, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Fingest 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.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
