How we handle window mastic in Ford
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Typical jobs include water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and whistling draughts around closed windows, on window sills, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Ford is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In a small place like Ford, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Surface by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Your questions about window mastic in Ford
Is Ford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Ford for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ford is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What does window mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is the new sealant paintable?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long will my window job take?

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ford
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What else we do in Ford
How we quote for window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
