Window and door sealing in Freezywater
Our applicators work in Freezywater on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
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.
Window mastic in Freezywater
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you’re dealing with old mastic that has gone black or come away and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can help. Mastic man, silicone man or sealant specialist, the name varies, but the work in Freezywater is the same: proper preparation and the right sealant for every joint.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why act early in Freezywater
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common problems we fix in Freezywater
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Freezywater is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Window mastic in Freezywater: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Forty Hall (about 1.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Freezywater has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Ss Peter and Paul Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Enfield Lock station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
